Hackney Marshes, showing football pitches
Hackney Marshes is an open space in the London Borough of Hackney. It adjoins the river Lea, and was originally actual marshland before a number of channels or "cuts" were made to drain it. There are a large number of football pitches, used for Sunday League football. Part of the area was taken for the London 2012 Olympics.

LGBT history

The Hackney Women's Football Club are based there.

In 2002 the London Pride festival was held there.
