Ah London is all about East London...
New trendy neighbourhoods, olympics stadium, mixing, culture and nightlife, the East end has it all!
And East London starts actually quite central, in one of my favourite area I want to pay a small homage to in this blog with a few pictures: Shoreditch.
Old Street is the coolest Tube station in London, but it has the ugliest roundabout in town! Don't stop at this piece of failure of architecture, there is definitely more aroung the corner...
East London is the place where the Olympic mood start! Here is Damon Albarn on an ad for a sport brand, along with some other famous sport brand's message... at the corner of Old Street and Great Eastern Street.
The area around Hoxton Square has for long been a hub for street art and is now one of the spot where the most famous art galleries have settled, following the ultra-well-know and prestigious White Cube.
Galleries and artists have long attracted cool bars and a vibrant music scene, like in the Electricity Showroom:
Hoxton is in the Borough of Hackney and the hipster part of Shoreditch, with its taste of almost every parts of the world:
Japanese and Thai restaurants, Mexican bars, French cafes, British pubs, old factories, Italian designers, African fashion....
Shoreditch is also a good spot to enjoy the olympic mood this summer, no doubt...
But do not miss the art because of the sport mood, my humble advise!
See you there folks.
