You can’t visit London without visiting Brick Lane & Shoreditch. Eye-popping street art, street food markets, vintage finds and cutting edge designers, it’s everything that makes East London such a vibrant wonderful place!
The history of the area is rich: Brick Lane was the centre for brick and tile manufacturers by the 15th century and then, for the silk weaving houses and breweries by the 17th century. The famous brewing family, the Trumans, started their business here and you can still see their Black Eagle Brewery on the street.
