What you'll do

Explore one of London’s coolest neighborhoods, and see for yourself why Shoreditch is known as one of the hippest (or most hipster) parts of the city. Your host will open your eyes to the unique character of the neighborhood as you amble 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 punctuated with hipster bars, independent boutiques, cafes, vintage markets, contemporary art galleries and underground clubs. Brick Lane, in the heart of the neighborhood, is all there is to love about Shoreditch 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 coolest events around), trendy cocktail bars to the latest-big-thing restaurants. There are countless vintage stores and markets to take your pick from - ask your host for recommendations - whilst 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.

    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!

    We had an awesome tour of East London and Sean-Taylor was amazing! He is so passionate about the area and London in general and it really felt like a friend was showing us around. I can’t imagine you can get this anywhere else. He made sure we saw the places, streets and shops that he thought we would love and he was right! We want to move here. Highly recommended :)
