West Carolina's Guide to Hackney

One of the most rapidly changing neighbourhoods in London is Hackney, and having our West Carolina Concept store here is a wonderful experience. Being surrounded with vibrant independent shops, cafes and restaurants. How can you possibly get bored?!

In light of celebrating all things Hackney, we decided to create our own Guide to Hackney - including our favourite places to shop, eat, drink and dance.

 HACKNEY L.I.F.T (@hackney_lift)

The final place on our Guide to Hackney isn't a physical place but a big inspiration of ours! The team behind Christopher Raeburn created a map called The Hackney Low Impact Fashion Trail (L.I.F.T). This map includes independent fashion boutiques, as well as places to eat and drink, markets, museums and green spaces - all within the Hackney area. The route only takes around 10 minutes from each end and is ideal for those who are trying to shop more sustainably and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. So be sure to check them out at @hackney_lift on Instagram!
