Shoreditch is one of London’s most unusual and colorful areas. It’s a creative haven for artists and designers where a wide variety of beliefs and cultures meets. It’s the area to visit whether you’re here for London Fashion Week or any other day of the year. As soon as I took the first steps along the street pavement of Shoreditch I instantly fell in love with this place.
Shoreditch is one of my favorite areas in London. The creative atmosphere that reigns here is indescribable in words. The greatest expression of art in the area is impressive graffiti on thewalls of Brick lane and streets surrounding it.
Graffiti is done by many great street art fanatics. Artworks there send some interesting messages and sets a very urban atmosphere around the stylish pubs, cafes and small vintage boutiques.

◽HOW TO GET TO SHOREDITCH
Shoreditch is located in East London and is very easily reachable by public transport.
In my opinion, the most convenient way how to get around London is the Underground tube (Metro). There’s a stop “Shoreditch” in the route of “East London Line”. That’s the one you need to go to.
Also if you are traveling from Victoria station which is the main, central spot for all public transport, then I’d suggest to take a District Line toward Upminster and get out in the stop “Whitechapel”. In this case, you will not have to switch Metro lines and will be just a short 10-minute walk from Shoreditch.
You can get there easily also from any other part of the city. Just look in the London Underground map for a route that will get you on District Line and then switch trains to get to the needed stop.

Shopping in Shoreditch is nothing like shopping in any other area of London. From vintage-style boutiques, to the pearls by new fashion strivers, over there fashion and imagination knows no boundaries.
◽A PLEASURE FOR YOUR TUMMY
Starting from the most unimaginable range of street food, ending with super-delicious Arabic sweets, Shoreditch has it all. It also works for any wallet – you can find great and cheap Indian dishes or choose to spend a bit more in a stylish hipster place with the best atmosphere ever.
Our favorite finding was Dark Sugars Cocoa House . This place is heaven for chocaholics! Chocolate hills literally covers this place. One of the most delicious cups of coffees in London can be found at the Dark Sugar. You will choose your favorite type of coffee and baristas will add some freshly chopped chocolate right into your cup. This lovely work of art will make your taste buds tingle.
You can also find everything from cheap places to eat in Shoreditch to awesome restaurants. A true food paradise!
◽ENJOY THE WILDEST PARTIES
Shoreditch is widely famous for its entertainment options. To many it’s well known as the best party place in London. And it’s not for nothing. Several of the city’s best bars and clubs are hiding between the hip streets of Shoreditch.
Ranging from tiny nightclubs to alternative rock bars Shoreditch has something to offer even the most seasoned clubbers. Plus knowing that London in general is pretty expensive this area has some more affordable party options as well.
Arriving in Shoreditch on Friday night, you will not have to spend lots of time walking from place to place, looking for the real party. They have great parties everywhere. So you just have to pick the one to dive in. Just remember that most of the places are not open till early morning hours.
For those who loves to party until the morning sun comes up, check out this place 333 Mother Bar which is running full speed until dawn.
During our last trip to London, it turned out so that we spent New Year’s Eve in Shoreditch. The location was some cinema that was turned into a 3 storey exotic Latino night club just for the NYE
I was never imagining myself dancing to some Mexican rhythms over New Years in the middle of London’s most stylish area. This was definitely one of the most exciting and out-of-the-usual events where I have been to.
FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE I CAN ADMIT THAT SHOREDITCH IS THE HOME OF BEST PARTIES AND MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. ?

Shoreditch is on my radar! I’ve seen photos from friends and I just like the vibe! And I am also a sucker for street art and murals so I think I will like the place when I get there!
I love Urban Street Art and Murals! Shoreditch always seems to be so youthful and alive!
I’m a big fan of wall art and just loved these vibrant graffitis. Shoreditch does really look like a creative heaven in London! Would love to try visiting this!
I’ve heard good things about Shoreditch and wow, do your images pop!
It reminds me quite a bit of the street art you’d see in Melbourne. Love it!
Well no wonder it is your fave place! I love it from your article, the parties, the food, the and the great shopping! My fave though is that amazing street art just gorgeous! Love it! Thanks for Sharing!
Love the elephant butterfly! I’m always on the search for street art wherever I go. It’s such a treat to happen upon something (and I’m always taking photos of my finds!) Sounds like Shoreditch is a great place to explore.
This is one part of London that I don’t really know and would love to explore. Love the funky and cool vibe. The shopping looks funky and the street art is amazing. Definitively adding Shoreditch to my must visit list for when I’m in London next!!!
I love it when a town or city or even an area in a city welcomes street art with open arms. It truly gives people a way to express themselves and in the process also brightens up the city. Loved the art and the psychedelic bits at the end are rather trippy. Although I have been to London, never been to Shoreditch, which I shall change on my next visit.
Oh I had never heard of Shoreditch, but this looks like the time of places that are perfect to take pictures! I like it! Will keep it in mind 🙂
I’ve actually never been to Shoreditch but it looks a vibrant and buzzing place, love the street art
