Once an ideal spot for manufacturing, now a bustling area of pop-ups, beer bars and multicultural communities (plus, a very cool arcade bar), Hackney Wick is absolutely booming, thanks to its spot by the canal and Olympic Park. For fun activities in Hackney Wick? We're coming up with the good stuff, from brewery experiences to walks, tours, brunches and everything in between.

An actual (like actual) stone's throw from the canal, Four Quarters East is where people head to play. With some of the best in retro arcade games, you'll be button bashing to your heart's content, whether you're a notorious gamer or not. Better yet? Grab a beer by the water, as outdoor seating means you can lap up a summer in East London.
Get on down to Barge East Gardens & Terrace for dinner, drinks or a bottomless brunch in pretty surrounds. And it's not just a gorgeous place to soak up the sunshine come summer either, as it also boasts covers and heaters during winter.
