Waxing in Clapton

Almost every corner of Hackney and its surrounding area is bustling with people, especially younger people with an eccentric sense of style. The borough has become a centre for fashion, music, and art of many kinds. Some historic architecture in the area includes: Hackney Empire, the Tudor Sutton House and St Augustine's Tower. This neighbourhood has a good sample of modern London development, while still preserving large stocks of Georgian and Victorian housing. The downside to living or working here is that Hackney has always been poorly served by the London Underground service. Manor House station, on the North Western tip, was, until recently, the only station available in the district. However, improvements are on their way, with the newly built Dalston underground station. The borough is very well served by local buses. In E5, the nearest primary schools are Millfields Community School, Badden-Powell School, and Al-Falah Primary School. Two of London's most successful City Academies are located in the Borough: Mossbourne Community Academy and Clapton Girls' Technology College.
