What you'll do

Explore one of London's coolest neighborhoods, and see why Shoreditch is known as one of the city's hippest (or most hipster) parts. Your host will open your eyes to the neighborhood's unique character as you stroll through streets plastered with murals and paste-ups, including street art by Banksy - spot them if you can.

Or there's Inivia - the Institute of International Visual Arts, which showcases the works of British artists of Black and Asian descent, offering an alternative narrative to London's mainstream art scene. Rifle through vintage stores to your heart's content, graze your way through the quirky street food markets, and if you're in dire need of a craft beer or cocktail, you've come to the right place!

Where you’ll go

Discover trendy Shoreditch, where streets are lined with hipster bars, independent boutiques, cafes, vintage markets, contemporary art galleries, and underground clubs. In the heart of the neighborhood, you'll find Brick Lane, where all there is to love about Shoreditch is distilled into one street.

From the Brick Lane Gallery to the Old Truman Brewery (which has traded its brewing days for playing host to the most fantastic events) to trendy cocktail bars and the latest-big-thing restaurants, this trendy neighborhood has it all.

There are countless vintage stores and markets to take your pick from - ask your host for recommendations - while just off Shoreditch High Street, you'll find Box Park, a trendy pop-up of minuscule stores and eateries which popped up and never left.

    She is extremely nice and friendly and she knows everything about London! She gave us also information for further visits! As we are not interested in food markets she designed a program with James Bond sites, filmstars and modern architecture. We were so excited abbaut the locations for that we booked there for dinner. Yesterday we had dinner at the 14 hills restaurant and today at the Ned. We look forward to it! A special thank again to Ana Maria for this unforgettable day! Family Rohner from Switzerland

    Maria provided a lovely, relaxed introduction to Shoreditch. We visited local markets (food, vintage clothing, art) and she pointed out fun historical tidbits all along the way. Very much appreciate her detailed review of my wishes for the tour - she planned the perfect morning! Highly recommend and would do another tour with her anytime!
