About the area

Hackney is an East London area where you can feel everyday local life. Broadway Market at the weekend and the Sunday-only Columbia Road Flower Market are popular places to capture real London living. Colourful flowers and food stalls are perfect material for Instagram Stories and short-form video. It's ideal for creators who want local content with a different feel from the tourist sights.

Area character

  • Columbia Road Flower Market, Sundays only
  • Food stalls at Broadway Market on Saturdays

Hackney shooting route

Columbia Road is on Sunday mornings and Broadway Market mainly on Saturdays. Covering both on the same day is difficult, so plan your shoot around the day of the week.
