Part creative neighbourhood for up and coming brands, part outlet park for high end names, shopping in Hackney has become a diverse mix of options since the fashion hub opened in 2016. This large, modern space on the fashion-forward Ram Place is a perfect blank slate for brands and retailers looking to get in on the action. The space is huge and well lit, with dressing rooms, storage space, a small kitchen area and bathroom facilities. Recently refurbished, it’s been decorated in a contemporary style with white walls, boutique spotlights and tiled flooring. The size and general set-up makes this space especially suited to exhibitions or sample sales, but regular retail works as well. Already an established hotspot for new restaurant concepts and creative brands, East London’s Hackney is rapidly emerging as a sought-after retail destination with Hackney Walk bringing big names and luxury brands such as Burberry, Anya Hindmarch and Matches Fashion to the area. Nearby transport connections include Hackney Central and Homerton stations.
