The creative hub of London

Shoreditch has, since around 1996, become a popular and fashionable part of London. Often conflated with neighboring Hoxton, the area has been subject to considerable gentrification in the past twenty years, with accompanying rises in property prices.

Recently – During the second 'dot-com' boom the area has become popular with London based web technology companies who base their head offices around Old Street. These include Last.fm, Dopplr, Songkick and 7digital – who tend to gravitate towards Old Street roundabout, popularizing the term 'Silicon Roundabout' to describe the area.

At the same time the area is home to London’s vibrant art scene with numerous galleries and as well as a great hub for relaxed evenings in restaurants catering for every bodies taste from Vietnamese to Burger Bars and long nights in trendy bars and clubs.
