Haggerston is an area in London, England and is located in the London Borough of Hackney. It is in East London and part of the East End. There is an electoral ward called Haggerston within the borough.
Haggerston historically formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch. In 1965, Shoreditch became part of the new London Borough of Hackney.
In the 1990s a number of the area's more rundown housing estates were refurbished and some disused public buildings were privately converted into gated communities. In 2010, Haggerston railway station re-opened, a little to the north of the original station.
