Shoreditch

London Borough of HackneyE1

Shoreditch is London's creative engine room—where street art meets tech startups, where Victorian warehouses have become co-working spaces and loft apartments. It's loud, crowded, and constantly reinventing itself. The artists who made it cool have largely been priced out, replaced by tech workers and finance types seeking lifestyle points. But the energy remains: the clubs, the galleries, the sense that something's always happening.
