The area was part of the Ancient Parish and subsequent Metropolitan Borough of Hackney, but has come to be seen by many as an informal extension of Stoke Newington, as well as a sub-district of Hackney proper.
Rectory Road, the principal railway station, lies 4.3 miles (6.9 km) northeast of Charing Cross.
