Stoke Newington, a once clearly defined administrative unit in 1899, namely the Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington was formed out of the larger part of the parish of Stoke Newington. The eastern side of Stoke Newington High Street including Stoke Newington Common were included in the next door Metropolitan Borough of Hackney when in fact they were already part of the parish of Hackney not Stoke Newington and at that time much of it would have been considered as being in Shacklewell. In 1965 these confusing boundaries were settled when the Metropolitan Borough became part of the London Borough of Hackney. Today Stoke Newington also includes parts of Stamford Hill and the almost nonexistent district of Shacklewell as well as its southern boundary with Dalston although this is not a clear boundary, all of these areas can be roughly defined by the N16 postcode area.
Despite all the changes Stoke Newington centred around Church Street has retained its own distinct London Village character and it is hard to see the district as being in London at all. For a small district, Stoke Newington has a generous amount of open space as to its north there is the extensive West Reservoir which is now a non-working facility but instead is open for leisure and is surrounded by green space. At the entrance to this green space is the Castle Climbing centre which was once the main Water Board pumping station which was designed by William Chadwell Mylne to look like a towering Scottish castle. To the South of these facilities is Clissold Park which is an extensive area of parkland complete with a small menagerie, aviary and Clissold Mansion which is a Grade 11 listed building built in the 1790’s.
These days to live in or even just to visit Stoke Newington is a real treat, with its multicultural communities such as Asian, Turkish, Jewish, Irish and Afro-Caribbean already established as well as new communities emerging such as Polish and Somalia. In recent years the area has undergone a rapid gentrification which has attracted many affluent professionals and the housing around Stoke Newington Church Street has become very desirable.
The area has become well known for its variety of restaurants, independent specialist shops and general entertainment scene. It has many good pubs, bars and clubs providing a lively music scene including contemporary jazz as well as some comedy clubs.
