London area of E2 guide
What to do and where to stay in London's E2 neighbourhood
Having uber-trendy Hoxton and Shoreditch on your doorstep is bound to give you a bit of a complex but the migration eastwards of all those arty types looking for cheap rents means that a bit of cool is rubbing off, and they're also rubbing shoulders with an existent Southeast Asian community to create a vibrant cultural mix. Of course, there are more bars, restaurants and hotels over on the Shoreditch side but just over the border of Kingsland Road you'll find the much-needed lushness of Haggerston Park and the kiddie-friendly animals of Hackney City Farm, which together form a wonderful family day out.
