This market used to be amazing. Now it is really pretty, and you can find some good things, but it's not as genuine as it used to be. The whole area is great though and you can have a lovely walk through old London and Whitechapel.

We love coming here to eat, there is soon much to choose from. After take a walk up Brick Lane and see the vintage shops and then left onto Bethnal Green Road. You'll see some amazing street art.

Right in the heart of Shoreditch this is probably our favourite restaurant. It is clean, crisp and all about the food, no fancy artwork or music. It can be quite experimental so check out the menu!
