Hackney Road

Despite this, a number of derelict buildings still remain, including the empty Children's Hospital.

The road also has striptease venues such as Browns and The Olde Axe (Clifton 2002), a bingo hall, fast-food outlets and building sites.

In 2008 a 178-room Days Hotel London Shoreditch opened at the junction with Pritchard's Road.

The west end of Hackney Road is served by London Overground services from Hoxton railway station.

On 21 July 2005 at 13:30 BST a small explosion occurred on the Number 26 bus travelling from Waterloo to Hackney Wick, on the Haggerston side of Hackney Road at the corner with Columbia Road in Bethnal Green.
