Shoreditch is the district for hipsters, street art and street food lovers, market goers, vintage lovers and coffee drinkers.
Hip, vibrant and alternative: you'll find it in Shoreditch. This was once a working-class neighbourhood, but since the arrival of the creative scene in the late 1980s, the area has been transformed into one of the city's hippest districts. Even though rents are rising, the arty vibe has remained. You can see that in all the street art and the industrial warehouses with creative web businesses. The district is popular not only for its creative atmosphere, but also for its conviviality. Clubs, pubs, restaurants, shops, markets and coffee shops: it's all here. Brick Lane is also known as Banglatown. This is where Londoners come for the only true national dish: curry!
