Shoreditch

Shoreditch is in the Borough of Hackney located just east of the central london. Shoreditch is bordered by Old Street and Brick Lane. A previously very poor area of London, it is now one of the most expensive and hippest places to live. Bricklane had and still has a very high Bangledshi population.Evidently, its the curry mecca of London. Its also where you can be guaranteed to eat some curry that will keep you running to the pot in pain for the next few days. I found it interesting that the street names were written in more than one language.

Shoreditch became a haven for the creative- artists due to the cheap rent that it provided. Yuppies followed the artists and now shoreditch is one of the most fashionable places to live. On Friday and Saturday nights, you can find the streets stuffed with drunken british people dressed in really odd clothing which will find its way to america and be quite fashionable in about 3 years.
Shoreditch is also a prolific ground for graffitti artists. Besides the regular offenders, here are some more pieces that I enjoyed.



To better understand the last piece of art and the statement it is trying to make, Here is what the artist is taking a piss out of. The Oyster card is a travel card that enables you to travel on all transport systems within London. Its magentized so you simply need to touch it on a sensor to register it.


It took me 1 hour to go down two streets! Shoreditch will easily need 5-6 more visits!!
