About London Fields Railway Arches
London Fields' railway arches run along the London Overground line through one of Hackney's most sought-after neighbourhoods. The area has transformed over the past decade into a destination for independent food and drink businesses, artisan producers, and creative studios, driven by a large population of young professionals and the neighbourhood's distinctive village-like character. Arches along the viaduct near London Fields station and stretching towards Mare Street house some of east London's most successful independent businesses, from craft breweries and natural wine bars to ceramic studios and speciality coffee roasters. Rents are among the highest in east London, reflecting intense demand and limited supply. The Arch Company is the principal landlord, and competition for available units is fierce. Businesses here benefit from strong local spending power, excellent Overground connectivity, and a loyal, community-minded customer base.
