Hackney is now connected to the heart of London
Highlighted is the East London Line extension, including Hackney's stations - Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston Junction. |
Hackney’s first tube-style link via the extension of the East London Line is part of a £1.4 billion investment programme which will see a wide range of benefits to be rolled out by Transport for London (TfL) between now and 2011 – in time for the Olympics. In May 2010, new stations were opened at Dalston Junction, Haggerston, Hoxton and Shoreditch High Street, with a further link to Highbury & Islington due to open in May 2011.
See the latest tube map with the new stations here.
The North London Line (NLL) which passes through Hackney via Dalston Kingsland, Hackney Central, Homerton and Hackney Wick, has been upgraded, with new and more frequent trains, and refurbished and rebuilt stations. All services are run by London Overground.
