Automotive in Hackney

The business environment

Hackney has a long history of vehicle repair, bodywork and specialist garages tucked into arches and light industrial units around Hackney Wick, Dalston and Hackney Central, serving both a dense local population and a wider east London customer base.

Why businesses locate here

Automotive businesses choose Hackney for accessible workshop space at lower cost than central London, strong road links via the A10 and A12, and a large local and passing customer base drawn from across east and north London.

The local economy

Hackney's economy combines a dense residential population with growing commercial activity, creating consistent demand for vehicle servicing, repair and bodywork from local drivers, fleet operators and businesses across the borough.
