Luxury holidays in Shoreditch
Gritty and graffiti-splattered – with divisive brutalist architecture – Shoreditch is a wellspring of creativity and a warren of hipster bars, eateries and boutiques. The rise of Shoreditch’s ‘Silicon Roundabout’ tech hub has spit-shined this scruffy ’hood, but alongside its pricey lofts, upcycled dive bars and bustling Boxpark are pockets of punk swagger and remnants of old East London (including the bells of Shoreditch from the nursery rhyme).
When to go
Even when the sun’s dimmed there’s something shiny to attract you here. In summer people spill onto bar terraces on Hoxton Square; winter brings warming club nights; and the Queen of Hoxton’s roof terrace changes theme with the season.
