About

The Walk

Join us on this guided walk through two of Hackney's conservation areas, showcasing contemporary residential projects with exceptional architecture in the London Fields area. You will appreciate these projects beyond their private residential qualities, focusing on their contribution to the public realm and local architectural diversity.

There will be a short talk about each of the exemplary projects highlighted in the tour, giving a brief explanation about the history of the development site, their architect, and their design approach. Additional context will be given about challenges encountered during the planning process and success stories of the project, like architectural awards and sustainability accomplishments.

The route is approx. 4km (2.5mi) long.
