Sorry to hear of your troubles, Ems. Big love. Hope you can remain relatively undamaged by these things.
On my way to Easties I almost always use that road that Em (the male one) got jumped on. On my pissing own.
CrazyLegs Crane is right to say we shouldn't use parks at night, full stop. Not sure that Hackney, compared to, say, Tower Hamlets, Islington, or Camden, is really specially deserving of the reputation The Crane gives it - like Gentleman Jonny said, all parts of London are sketchy, given a dark spot and a lone hipster at the mercy of the Terrible Hoody Plague.
Let's keep it in perspective, though. You're much more likely to get a pasting or worse in a regional town that a big city around UnHappy Hour.
