Hackney Nights
Hackney Nights is a case study for Islington's night-time economy and funds Hackney safety initiatives.
Islington Council's Licensing Committee discussed strategies to boost its night-time economy in November 2025, considering Hackney Nights as a case study for supporting cultural and creative sectors. This project, which is a portal for venues, helps address regulatory barriers to growth.
In Hackney, the Late Night Levy, for which Hackney Nights acts as a portal for payers, funded police and initiatives to combat violence against women and girls, as reported in the Licensing Service Annual Report in July 2025. The project also collaborates with organisations to distribute related information.
