Shopping On Shoreditch High Street | London Must-Dos

 

Whether visiting London as a tourist or you are a London, Shoreditch High Street is somewhere you will definitely want to check out. When I travel I am not one for shopping or walking around malls or shops because all those things I have in London.

 

 

The only time you will catch me there is if there is something unique and out of the ordinary, like say, an aquarium or gold bar atm like Dubai Mall or if I need to hunt for African curios to bring back to family and friends. Those are really the only times I am doing any shopping on trips otherwise my time is spent on exploring places in the city and finding out about its hidden or past history.

 

 

One of my favourite spots in London, if it wasn’t already obvious by recent post is East London. I have show countless posts not on food tours, street art tours and a few random shots on my Instagramwhile walking about. I am always to fascinated to learn something new about the area.

 

 

Considering the vast number of pictures in most of my posts I am sure it’s clear that I love photography and just how creative with your camera is only limited by your imagination so it’s always great to stumble on an inspiring photographer. One such creative was Boris Bennet, who at 22 moved from Poland to London. With dreams of all the glamour of the silver screen inspired by American film, the set up a studio in East London in the 1920s. It was such a poor community and mostly populated with Jewish families fleeing persecution in Europe.

Walking around Brick Lane and really many parts of East London, the legacy left behind by people like Boris and all the people that flocked here who were dressmakers, photographers, sketch artists, jewellers and traders have inspired what you will now see today; a vibrant, colourful, multi-cultural corner of London that’s a treat to the eyes and your tastebuds when sampling the amazing food here.
