In Transition

Time was that you would ride through Hackney Wick being glared at by dodgy characters working on even more dodgy cars in greasy workshops. Then the hipsters started moving into the warehouses and doing arty stuff. 

The gentrifiers soon spotted this and bought up factories which are now being replaced with shiny apartments. Late last earth new station refurb at Hackney Wick was opened. Funky coffee shops have sprung up. Trendy insurgents with dachshunds are now a common site whereas previously they would have been a rare sighting.

It's all changing and there's still further to go. I'll keep you posted on the emerging trends in White Post Lane.
