Lea Bridge is a district of the London Borough of Hackney. It is situated in the northeast part of the borough and bounded by Upper Clapton to the north, Lower Clapton to the south, and the River Lee Navigation to the east. On the other side of the bridge after which the area is named is Leyton in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. A power station was opened in 1901 that provided electricity for most of the borough, however this facility was closed down and the site is now being transformed into a recycling plant and a travellers site as part of the Olympic developments.

Much of the area is made up of open space and a conservation area, and there are many amenities including an athletics track, a football pitch, a cricket pitch, tennis courts, a trim trail and a basketball court. The river is also used for water sports. Many of these amenities are found in Millfields Park, an important green space in this community.
