An inspirational London 2012 legacy venue, it marks the final stage of transformation of the Eton Manor site.

A welcoming community hub, set within the woodland margins of the world’s largest collection of amateur football pitches, the Centre provides much-needed facilities for the London Borough of Hackney.

Formerly home to historical ironworks, before the rubble from London’s blitz was laid over their landscape to create the vast open space we see today, the building embeds itself into the rituals of community football, while responding to its unique historical context via its architectural expression and inventive use of materials.
