Hackney Central is a station on the Mildmay line of the London Overground, located in the London Borough of Hackney. It lies between Dalston Kingsland and Homerton in Travelcard Zone 2. The station and the trains serving it are operated by Transport for London.
The station is connected to Hackney Downs station on the Weaver line of the Overground 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.
