Walk - De Beauvoir Town

Royal hunting ground to 19C residential estate. De Beauvoir Town lies on the south-western border of Hackney and is still sometimes called ‘Kingsland’ because Henry VIII hunted here. It is distinct from but nestled up close to Dalston, London Fields, the Regent’s Canal, Shoreditch, south east Islington and Mildmay. This walk winds through the early/mid 19C streets and beautiful central square, a historic canal basin, lost churches, site of a cattle market and much more.

Meet at Haggerston Station, ends Southgate Road
