Hackney had a fee for towing away old cars so people just dumped them. Within a short time, everything valuable would be stripped off and the piling in of rubbish would begin.
Recently, they stopped charging to dump your old car and this practice is disappearing.

Hackney Downs opened as a public park in 1884 and is one of Hackney's major green spaces. The park is in the geographical heart of the borough and has a wide range of newly refurbished facilities. The park holds a Green Flag award. The awards are given to the best green spaces in the country and are awarded each year to make sure the quality of the green space remains high.

Hackney Empire Theatre, London. Designed by Frank Matcham and opened in December 1901, the Empire was equipped from the start with a projection box for films. The principal use was as a Music Hall, but the large stage allowed for opera and spectacular pantomimes. It initially seated a claimed 3,000 (1,900 is likely more accurate) on four levels, now it seats just over 1,000 in a more comfortable layout. Used as a TV studio in the 1950s and converted into a bingo hall in 1963, the theatre somehow survived drastic alteration, and was able to reopen for live shows in 1984. With developers circling, the freehold was acquired, allowing planning for a thorough restoration to begin. It closed in 2001 as a massive expansion (taking in the corner public house and rebuilding the stage house) and restoration which lasted 3 years, the Empire reopened in 2004 (architect Tim Ronalds). It is a grade 2* listed building. Taken on the Open City Festival viewing.

St Augustine's Tower in Hackney is the remains of a church of that name. In the 18th century when it became to small a new church was built nearby dedicated to St John. St Augustines was then demolished, but the bell tower left as the new church still had no bell tower of its own.
The other building in the picture is Hackney Old Town Hall.
Flickr surely this is central Hackney.
