Getting here:
Hackney Central ¼ mile; Hackney Downs ½ mile. From Hackney Central Overground - After passing through the exit barriers, a ramp slopes down for about 100 metres. At the bottom, cross the road at the traffic lights and turn right, then immediately left onto a wide pedestrianised street which slopes up slightly. There may be market stalls along the sides. About 30 metres along on the left, will be Marks and Spencer's, and opposite, on the other side of the street, a square, pale stone building, with ‘Hackney Old Town Hall’ carved into the front, although it is now used as a bar. Behind it is an old stone clock tower. Turn right onto a flagstone path down the left hand side of the square stone building, continuing past the tower and into St Johns Churchyard Gardens. The large flagstones will be uneven underfoot, and the path rises slightly. Please note, you can enter the gardens by walking down the right hand side of the stone building. Here there are two steps up, graduating to three steps, to accommodate the slope of the street. Follow the flagstone path straight through the Gardens. You will pass a small brick café on the left, which may have tables and chairs outside. Continue straight on, crossing over a cycle path, where you might need to give way to cyclists. About 25 metres further on, you will arrive at the end of Sutton Place, a residential street. Walk along the right hand pavement for about a 100 metres, then turn right onto Homerton High Street. Sutton House is the first house on the right. Please note, there is a sign at the junction of Sutton Place and Homerton High Street which directs you to the left. Please ignore this.
