Many parts of the borough are steeped in history. During the Tudor period Hackney became a retreat for nobility and Sutton House which is situated on Homerton High Street is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hackney, this was originally built for the Tudor diplomat, Sir Ralph Sadleir in 1535 and named Bryck Place. During the Tudor to late Georgian times the village of Hackney flourished as a rural retreat but this good fortune came to an end once the construction of the railwaytook place in the 1850s. There has been extensive development in Hackney since the Second World War but despite this development Hackney is London’s greenest borough.
