Hackney Wick: Canals, Studios & Street Art

Beside the Olympic Park, Hackney Wick has reinvented itself as a creative quarter — warehouses now filled with studios, breweries and murals.

What to Do

• Street Art: Vast warehouse walls act as open-air galleries.
• Food & Drink: Independent breweries, canal‑side pizza and brunch cafés.
• Canal Walks: Towpaths link to Victoria Park and Olympic Park.

Events

Weekends often bring open studio days or markets. Summer evenings see crowds by the water’s edge.
