'''Hatton Gardens''' is a five-block neighbourhood in eastern [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. The neighborhood is located along the [[Humboldt River]] to the east, bordering [[Middle Park East]] to the north by Nickel Street, [[Lancet]] to the south by Lorimar Street, and [[Star Junction]] to the west by Columbus Avenue. As is with midtown Algonquin neighbourhoods to the east, Hatton Gardens contains several high-rise apartments and commercial buildings.
