Why is Hackney Popular for Basement Construction?

The Borough of Hackney is one of the most central and greenest boroughs in London. It was one of the host boroughs for the 2012 London Olympic Games, and many of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park venues are within its boundaries. Hackney became a retreat for the nobility during the reign of Henry VIII and the reallocation of religious lands.

Hackney, being one of the most inner-city London boroughs, retains large terraces of Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian housing which have survived the devastating World wars. Key elements of this architecture include basements and cellars, previously used for the storage of coal for fuelling fires. This makes it fairly simple for conversion, providing additional, optimal space for storage, and extending your property without compromising the external character and style of the building. Also, in terraces, it is usually impossible to extend outwards, so downwards is preferable to extend, realising the potential from beneath!
