Shoreditch & Spitalfields

Located in London’s historic East End and a mere stone’s throw from the City, Shoreditch was once a hub of entertainment to rival the West End, with its numerous theatres and music halls, founded over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The area has therefore always attracted creatives, such as artists, musicians and designers, and this continues to be the case today. In recent years, City workers wishing to be close to the office have also moved into the neighbourhood, and this eclectic mix of residents has created a highly-in-demand vibrant and bohemian vibe, all of which is reflected in the increasingly high property prices.  

From historical warehouse conversions and high-spec modern apartment developments to fine Georgian townhouses and old weavers cottages in neighbouring Spitalfields, there are properties to suit all tastes and lifestyles.
