3. BOXPARK Shoreditch

BOXPARK Shoreditch is a unique mall made from shipping containers. Here you will find stores and restaurants.

While we were visiting BOXPARK, Essie nail polish had a pop-up event taking place.

We put on a protective covering and stepped into their box to paint using their vibrant colors. If you are in the BOXPARK area, look for pop-up events.

4. Brick Lane

Brick Lane is a street in Shoreditch that has a famous street market. The Brick Lane Market happens every Sunday from 9 am - 5 pm. Here you can wander around shopping and sampling the street food stalls.

5. Beigel Bake Brick Lane Bakery

When you are on Brick Lane, head to Beigel Bake. It is a famous Brick Lane Bakery that is open 24 hours. There will probably be a line outside the bakery, but do not let that put you off. The line moves quickly, and the salt beef bagel is worth the short wait.

The bagel comes with a generous portion of salt beef, mustard, and pickles on a delicious bagel.

One salt beef bagel is £5.70.

After Brick Lane, you can continue wandering around Shoreditch and make your way to Old Spitalfields Market. It is a covered market that has tons of food and shopping options. It is open every day of the week.

7. The Golden Heart

Because the England women's national football team was playing in the UEFA Women's Championship, we wanted to find a pub to watch the game. We decided on the Golden Heart. We enjoyed a few beers while cheering on the Lionesses.

This pub has a jukebox and a cozy atmosphere, so we recommend it if you are looking for a pub near the Old Spitalfields Market.

8. Aladin

Brick Lane in Shoreditch is known as London’s curry mile because it has a lot of Indian restaurants along the street. We visited Aladin because it boasts the accolades of being one of the best Indian restaurants in London.
