Shopping
Shoreditch isn't 'Quite' the location for a Shopping Mall per say, until that is. someone saw the potential of an alternative take-albeit on a smaller scale. He bought 50 disused shipping containers, lined up for the scrapyard, and ceremoniously deposited them adjacent to Shoreditch Station on a strip of wastland. His promise of unique individual entrpenarial stores materialised less than 3 weeks later for a Xmas run of 3 months. Due to its unique diversity,3 years later it continues to attract large numbers of locals and tourists alike. soaking up the atmosphere.

If you anything about the American very individual Ace Hotel group then you will know what to expect. Eccentricity, cutting edge design, informality but professionalism. Open from breakfast right through until midnight, a quirky feature is that you enter via the flower shop adjacent to the Ace Hotel. Great for celebrity watching too !

Museum of London
Museum of LondonIts just a 5 minute stroll away. Architecturally wise it is fascinating in its own right, being a conversion of unique almshouses set amidst their original gardens. The herb garden being the most famous. The museum itself is dedicated to home interiors throughout the past 400 years. Even if that doesn't fill you with enthusiasm, its still worth a visit for its interiors, gardens and all day cafe.
