Shoreditch is at the heart of London's contemporary art scene and has some exciting night life too.
Living in Shoreditch
Shoreditch borders both Spitalfields and Hoxton.
Canny buyers have identified Shoreditch as a future growth area, due to the proposed station and the availability of property at comparatively reasonable prices. Shoreditch, Hoxton and Spitalfields property are often grouped together and referred to as 'city fringe' property.
The 'Shoreditch Triangle', which incorporates Shoreditch High Street, Great Eastern Street and the Eastern-most point of Old Street (and the general locality, extending across to Brick lane and virtually meeting the City on Bishopsgate) has fast become an international centre.
Housing in the heart of Shoreditch can be expensive. Loft conversions and studio flats are often slightly over priced due to the immediate vicinity of Old Street. This is unsurprising considering the proximity of the area to transport links and the fact that it is, literally, within walking distance from the City of London.
Transport
With the neighbouring Old Street and Liverpool Street Tube stations and more than enough bus routes, Shoreditch is well placed for transport links to the City, Central and West London, North London and to South London.

History and culture
Shoreditch was the site of a nunnery from the 12th to the 16th centuries, and afterwards it became a wealthy neighbourhood, home to traders and factory owners.
By the late 1800s, Shoreditch was a slum ruled by criminals and prostitutes.
There is a strong international community that populates Shoreditch as a whole, and no one group dominates. Apart from the long established Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities there are a great many Eastern Europeans, Americans and French.
Shoreditch is a great location to live at weekends, with Columbia Road and Spitalfields markets close by, as well as the White Cube and a myriad of other art galleries.
With the 2012 Olympics fast approaching and 'progress' being what it is, the steady gentrification of East London is inevitable and is, perhaps, no bad thing.
