The London Borough of Hackney (
i/ˈhækni/) is a North East London Borough within Inner London, United Kingdom.
Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly regarded as being part of east London, with northern and western areas belonging to north London.
The London Plan issued by the Greater London Authority assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The most recent (2011) iteration of this plan assigns Hackney to the ‘East’ sub-region, while the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
