Every London Borough has nurtered mega pop artists – why are we telling you this I hear you ask….it’s because Ringley are based in Camden, the epicentre of all things music and Hackney isnt that far away from us!

Which pop band – well it is not a pop band but the one and only British Rapper Professor Green. He was born 27^thof November 1983 in the London Borough of Hackney, his name is actually Stephen Paul Manderson but more famously known by his stage name of Professor Green. He grew up on the Northwold estate in Hackney and as raised by his grandmothers. His famous tracks include Need You Tonight and Just Be Good To Green. He has released many albums and in 2016 was a co hosy on Channel 5 show Lip Sync Battle with co - host Mel B.

Ringley are a specialist Property Management Company in London, and more specifically North London and the surrounding boroughs which is why we thought we would create this page to highlight why you should use a local property management company to Hackney.

History of Hackney

 The actual name 'Hackney' was first recorded in 1198 AD and is probably derived from an island or a raised place in a marsh (an 'ey') in the vicinity of the River Lea, together with the name of a Dane called Haca or Hacon, who owned it. Each of the separate parishes was centred upon a local church: Old St.The theatre in Shoreditch built in 1576 staged the first performance of lots of Shakespeare’s plays – one of which was Romeo and Juliet.

In East London north of river Thames, originally hackney was small hamlets which were occupied as gardens or market areas so once a very rural community until the industrial revolution came along.

Yes I have been watching Hackney develop over the past few years and really is one borough oozing with potential. I am also a serious amateur history buff and didn’t realise how ancient this part of London was back in the old days ! It seems Hackney is a kindred spirit to our native Camden .  Not only was the first Tudor Theatres built in Hackney but Hackney Marshes play host to the largest collection of football pitches in Europe.

Hackney offers lots to do , the Borough is very modernised as well as being very vibrant and culturally diverse. You could visit Shoreditch which has alot of history behind it but not only that there are now many bars and resturants available to visit aswell as the signiture Brick Lane Beigel Shop open 24 Hours. On the topic of food lets not forget to mentio Broadway Market in in Hackney , which is a Victorian Street markett with over 70 shops , cafes. With countless food options suited to everyone.

You could even visit the Queen Elizabeth Olypmpic park now the grounds for West Ham Football club. The borough is also home to the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and Natural History.
