Hackney Central is a London Overground station on the North London line in the London Borough of Hackney.

It lies between Dalston Kingsland and Homerton in Travelcard Zone 2.[4] The station and the trains serving it are operated by Transport for London.

The station is connected to Hackney Downs by a direct passenger walkway linking the two stations (replacing an earlier such link) that was opened in July 2015. This walkway means passengers do not have to exit on to the street in order to continue their onward journey and has eased congestion.[5]
