"London's non-denominational Magnificent Seven burial garden, Abney Park cemetery is perhaps more renowned for the sheer amount of trees than its residents. Over 2500 trees are planted alphabetically in a perimeter around the park."

I love that there are lots of new businesses opening up along Stoke Newington High Street!

Along Stoke Newington Church Street there are some lovely independent businesses, from florists, to coffee shops, to wine bars.

The takeover of the Overground at Hackney Central has been fantastic for the local area - there's proposals for Crossrail 2 at this station too!

About Upper Clapton

Upper Clapton is a district in the London Borough of Hackney. It is bounded by the Hackney districts of Stamford Hill to the west, Lower Clapton and Lea Bridge to the south and the Haringey district of South Tottenham to the north. To the east is the River Lea (spelt Lea or Lee), on the other side of which is the expanse of the Walthamstow Marshes, part of which is in the Lee Valley Park. One of the most pleasant amenities in Upper Clapton is Springfield Park, running down the hill eastwards to the Lea. The park's sports facilities include five tennis courts, and a cricket pitch while to the north just across Springhill Road in the recreation ground there are rugby fields, more newly resurfaced tennis courts and football pitches. Besides Springfield Park, Upper Clapton is delineated to the west by the long leafy strip of Clapton Common, distinguished by the recently regenerated Clapton Pond (not to be confused with Clapton Ponds, two much smaller ex-reservoirs in Lower Clapton). The pond is a favourite with bird watchers — besides the usual variety of ducks, geese and swans, such shy birds as grebes and other waders may often be seen feeding in the reed beds.
