Frequently asked questions

Questions about the district: what it is, where the boundary runs and how to get here. And about the directory: where the facts come from and how to claim your page.

What is Hammarby Sjöstad?

The district on the south shore of Hammarby sjö, opposite Södermalm, built on former harbour and industrial land from the late 1990s and now home to just over 20,000 people. Officially the district is Södra Hammarbyhamnen; residents say Hammarby Sjöstad or Sjöstan. Hammarby allé is the main street, and the canals and quays divide the area into Hammarby gård, Sjöstadsparterren, Lugnet, Luma, Sickla kaj, Sickla udde and Henriksdalshamnen.

What is being built in Hammarby Sjöstad right now?

Not much – the city puts the area as complete around 2027. Fredriksdal in the west is the last larger housing block, Sjöstadshöjden above Hammarbybacken comes in the 2030s, and the blue metro line to Nacka gets its Hammarby kanal station, with exits on Södermalm and in Luma. It is planned for the second quarter of 2030, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 expected in the first quarter of 2032 – no new timetable has been decided. Across Sickla kanal, Nacka keeps building in Sickla and Henriksdal.

Where do I find homes in Hammarby Sjöstad?

Almost only on the resale market – the district is built, and the new homes that remain are sold by the developers themselves. The directory lists no housing ads; those are with the estate agents and Bostadsförmedlingen.

How do I get to Hammarby Sjöstad?

The Tvärbanan light rail stops at Mårtensdal, Luma, Sickla kaj and Sickla udde and has run through the district since 2002, with a change to the metro at Gullmarsplan. Sjöstadstrafiken's ferry crosses Hammarbyleden to Södermalm free of charge, and bus 74 runs along Hammarby allé. The blue metro line gets its Hammarby kanal station, planned for the second quarter of 2030, but since Region Stockholm's review in September 2026 expected in the first quarter of 2032 – no new timetable has been decided.

What's on in Hammarby Sjöstad?

Fryshuset in Mårtensdal has dance, basketball, skate and film, Luma library has a programme and extended self-service hours, the residents' association runs Sjöstadsdagen and Lumadagen, and the bars along Hammarby allé and in Luma have their own nights. The Events page gathers the library's and Fryshuset's programmes, the tastings and the DJ nights, with dates as the organisers themselves have published them.

What is this website?

A directory of restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, gyms, pharmacies, clinics and services in Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm, with opening hours, menus and current offers. The site is run by Eightyfive AB and is independent of the city and the property owners.

Where does the information come from?

Businesses that have claimed their page update it themselves. Other pages are filled from the businesses' own published material – menus are transcribed as they stand, opening hours are read from their own sites and the chains' store pages, and every page shows when the facts were last checked. Nothing is taken from review sites or maps.
