A residents guide to Shoreditch

Illayda a Scape resident shares her favourite haunts in her local neighbourhood. Welcome to Shoreditch.

Famous for its pop-ups, restaurants, markets, street art and nightlife, Shoreditch is one of London's most creative and colourful neighbourhoods. A mixture of pop-up bars in vacant petrol stations, blues bars, rooftop bars, late-night clubs and speakeasy bars line the surrounding streets, with food vendors, stalls, restaurants, and the famed Beigel Shop means you can have whatever food you wish, whatever hour of the door. Shoreditch is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a colourful, creative and urban side of London. There is plenty to do, but here is my pick of the bunch.
