Brick Lane

Brick Lane is full of history and an array of curry houses (one of which is THE best curry house in London according to Metro!). You’ll also find random works of art by the likes of Banksy, ROA and Ben Eine up and down the lane. If you’re into the gory history of Brick Lane and the area, it’s the same patch that Jack the Ripper would stalk his victims.

Community

There are many pop-up events taking place which solely focus on bringing locals together. These meet ups are usually held within local bars, pubs, parks or communal spaces. Shoreditch is big on supporting local talent and often showcases music and art shows. Even if these things aren’t for you, they also have an array of book clubs and low-key get togethers you can take part of. The community also likes to thrive off of independent local businesses which reinforces the community vibe. There’s a really cool app for local meet ups. Click here to view their website.
