HISTORY IN EVERY DETAIL
Dating back to at least 1860, The Hackney was originally built as a brewery for the Chandler Wiltshire Brewery Company and later transformed into a mechanic’s workshop. The East End of London during that era was a hub of industrial innovation, and this is beautifully reflected in the venue’s character. With features like safe doors, 4m high ceilings, and exposed brickwork, The Hackney retains its distinctive charm.
