How to find mum friends in Hackney

Hackney is probably the easiest place in London to meet other new parents, simply because there are so many and they are all outside. London Fields is the obvious centre of it — the playground, the lido queue and the grass on any warm day. Chatsworth Road on a market day is the other.

Where parents in Hackney actually meet

• London Fields — the playground, the grass and the lido queue.
• Hackney Downs, quieter and closer for the streets to the north.
• Chatsworth Road on a market day.

None of this needs an introduction or a committee. Pick one, go at roughly the same time twice, and you will start recognising people — which is most of the battle.

How ParentGO helps

• Arrange a meet-up. Post a time and a place and see who is free.
• Message a parent directly. A conversation at a class does not have to end when the class does.
• Ask a local question. Which class is worth the money, where to go in Hackney when it has rained for three days.

It is free to join, you choose how much you share, and dads, grandparents and carers use it too.
