    Not many of Londons boroughs exceed 10,000 persons per sqkm. Overall London is about 5,000
    It isn't far off if you take out the green belt and metropolitan open land and parks. Something Hackney has almost none of.

    Why not count density by the land our feet stand on

    so a man lost in the Sahara desert is living at 17 million persons per sqkm

    Hackney has the largest expanse of green spaces in inner London. We have!58 parks, gardens and open spaces!totalling about 330 hectares, ranging from the largest concentration of football pitches in Europe at!Hackney Marshes!to the beautiful and historic settings of!Springfield!and!Clissold!parks.


    Kinda craps on your post. Hackney with its over 13,000 persons per km2

    also I would count Victoria park to be accessible as it directly adjoins Hackney

    For a start Victoria park is in Tower Hamlets.
    Hackney has a small amout of metropolitan green space on its border mostly from Waltham Forest. However it is one of the least green covered boroughs, comparing it to just a few boroughs in inner London is very selective.

    Here is a call to all those who like to claim they know a thing or two on this forum.... and those that like to tell people where to go....

    Let's see who has the nerve to step up...

    Please let us all know where you gained your financial knowledge, what your motivations are to post here, and some sort of indication of your stake in the housing market... I.e. Number of properties

    OK, I gained my financial knowledge through a few decades of working in financial markets.

    What about you?

    I got a degree from the Devonian Institute of Advanced Economics.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.
