You may be looking for the London Borough of Hackney.

Hackney was a district in London. (TV: Nightvisiting [+]Patrick Ness, Class television stories series 1 (BBC Three, 2016).)

History[]

Jo Jones lived there in a small two-bedroom house after her separation from Dr Clifford Jones. She had to hold down two jobs to keep herself and her teenaged son, Matthew, afloat. (PROSE: Genocide)

Alice Obiefune lived by herself in a Hackney apartment when she met the Eleventh Doctor in 2014. Shortly after her mother died, she was informed she was evicted. (COMIC: After Life) Alice was still fighting her eviction in 2015. At the time she returned to her apartment after several adventures with the Doctor, the Eternal Dogfight had arrived on Earth. The Doctor remarked to John Jones that "spaceships didn't come to Hackney...that often." (COMIC: The Eternal Dogfight)

Hackney held a Hackney Harvest feast on Sunday 29 September 2016, on the junction of Narrow Way and Mare Street. Around this time, Your Hackney was a short film competition in Hackney. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)
