Shoreditch
This vibrant London district is a hive of creativity and
innovation 1 Dinerama
Head west out of Shoreditch High Street station up Great Eastern Street and you’ll quickly come to Dinerama, a vibrant patchwork of street-food stalls and bars that is not to be missed. The labyrinth of more than 15 vendors serves dishes from around the globe, including Taiwanese steamed buns, Jamaican jerk and everything in between. Join the lively crowd seated at picnic tables and barrels on the ground floor, or head upstairs for a more relaxed experience at the Winerama wine bar. The rooſt op patios are covered in the winter, so you can enjoy this fun destination all year round. Open from 5pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and from noon on Saturdays. Families (and pet pooches) are welcome as well.

AP RIL 20 19 2 Cargo
For the best views of the street art the area is famous for, take Holywell Lane back to Shoreditch High Street. Walk north for five minutes and you’ll come to Cargo, to the left on Rivington Street. What by night is a young and trendy venue that hosts gigs and club events, is by day a peaceful spot to take in works by some of the most well-known street artists in the world. Two pieces by Banksy, arguably the most famous name here, decorate the courtyard wall under glass protection. Don’t miss works by other top-notch street artists such as Bambi, Thierry Noir (the first artist to paint on the Berlin Wall), Christiaan Nagel (known for his mushroom sculptures) and Stick, as well as many other talented types.

3 The Old Blue Last
Called East London’s “most notorious venue” by music magazine NME, the more than 300-year-old Old Blue Last pub on Great Eastern Street is owned by Vice Media, a youth media outfit which has its UK base in Shoreditch. The upstairs area is home to a live music venue, and if you want to catch some of the trendiest bands while drinking craſt beer amid the kings and queens of East London’s hipster set, this is the place to be. The pub has had a steady stream of famous acts through its doors, including Florence and the Machine, Arctic Monkeys and Amy Winehouse. The upstairs flat can also be hired for parties of up to 60 people. Just be careful, because the ceiling has collapsed three times since Vice bought the pub.
