From the Wikipedia article
Stoke Newington Common is an open space in the London Borough of Hackney. It lies between Brooke Road to the south and Northwold Road to the north, straddling a railway line and the busy Rectory Road. The common is 2.15 hectares (5.3 acres) in area. The common was originally called Cockhanger Green but underwent a series of name changes. The common is part of West Hackney, an area of Hackney that is often informally also described as part of Stoke Newington.

Background
History
This is old common land that came under public ownership in 1872. Not merely the common's name has been mangled by time. Unlike its near neighbour, Hackney Downs, this land has been dissected by London's Victorian transport links. The deep cutting of the railway line between Stoke Newington and Rectory Road railway stations runs straight through the common from north to south, while the parallel Rectory Road making part of the A10 gyratory slices off another strip to the west. Finally the road called Stoke Newington Common carrying a busy bus route chops off a section to the south. The now buried and lost Hackney Brook once ran across the north of the common, but this has long been replaced…
