Shoreditch, a vibrant cultural hub, is fast becoming the chosen location for city professionals and talented creatives wishing to buy or rent a property.
The variety of properties is impressive, from period houses, to modern apartments and family homes. With stylish warehouses, smart office conversions and imposing Georgian houses, there is something for everyone.
A big draw to this neck of the woods is the cycle highway which connects cyclists to the heart of the city, and also allows them to head north, towards Tottenham. There are also the quieter, more tranquil routes – Quietways – if you are yearning for a bit of Zen!
Many professionals with families are attracted to the district because of its schools – in particular, Virginia Primary School and Mulberry Academy, which were both awarded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted.
There’s no shortage of exciting things to do in Shoreditch. Diverse and eclectic, this jewel in East London’s crown has a myriad of vintage markets, organic and ethical grocery stores, street food stalls, cutting edge galleries, community hubs and innovative bars. You can delight in the many quirky cafes, high calibre restaurants, and authentic boozers.
Excellent transport links also make Shoreditch a popular location. It boasts three stations: Liverpool Street and Old Street, which host the central and circle lines on the Underground, while Shoreditch High Street is on the Overground.
