Kingsland is a former hamlet that is now an urban area in the west of the metropolitan district of Hackney, Middlesex. The settlement developed along the Roman road Ermine Street (now called Kingsland High Street in this area), primarily around its junction with Dalston Lane (the road to Hackney). It grew substantially in the 18th century along with the growth of traffic along the road. 19th-century development saw it become contiguous with Dalston to its east and eventually part of the larger Hackney built up area. The area is within the council area of Hackney.
