Knees Up Running & Movement Cafe, Hackney
Will Ross, January 21, 2026
Knees Up is a vibrant community hub and “multi-purpose space” located at 455 Hackney Road, around the corner from Mama Shelter and Ozone Coffee. It officially opened its doors in April 2024, servicing runners initially before cyclists also embraced the venue.
The space is operated as a hybrid lifestyle destination that blends a café, bar, and retail shop finished in stainless steel to create an open space easily repurposed for events and screenings. If you’re looking for the bleed edge of premium, technical running apparel – the store is the place to go within London. Sift through and dodge the price tags. Portal, Literary Sport, Soar and Satisfy available for browsing and trying on.
Local run clubs include Cadence Club and Your Friendly Runners.
