A visit to London – Shoreditch

Hey,  just found  some pictures I took during my amazing city trip to London just before Christmas. When visiting a city, my man I love spending our day walking around the city and discovering new areas with their little shops, local restaurants and secret bars. Don’t you think it’s the best part of all city trips, local unknown discoveries?

This time we headed north east to Shoreditch, an area we heard good things about and indeed we really loved our time there. An urban and industrial edge, independent shops, art galleries and tempting little restaurants or cafes everywhere. Everything I like in short!

In case you organise a (or two, or three) day trip London, here are some pictures and a mini (will spend more time around next time I promised) guide to Shoreditch. Enjoy lovelies!

Boxpark is a pop-up mall located directly next to Shoreditch High Street next to the overground metro line. Brands such as Boxfresh, The North Face, Urbanears or Amnesty International as well as pretty bar and places to eat gather together in design containers placed next to each others. A real good time!

Albion seemed to be the place to eat in the area, everything inside looked sooooo good. Will definitely hang around next time!

Pictures here and there and the famous shop Labour and Wait full of authentic little treasures for your home.

And finally Aubin & Wills, a whole building dedicated to art, fashion and lifestyle. So cool! Check their collection, they have pretty basics and a really cute fox logo ; )

So when is your next trip to London??

Have a great weekend!
