London Unveiled: A Perfect London Travel Guide

A day out on foot exploring Shoreditch, from someone who has lived in East London for >5 years.

Shoreditch is the new place to be in East London! It’s also known as the “Brooklyn of London”, where you can explore so many different aspects that make London so unique. From wall graffiti and vintage stores to the famous Brick Lane curries and lots of new (and good) restaurants popping up, Shoreditch is definitely the place to explore.

I hope you enjoy this guide.

Any tips would be appreciated 😊

An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things London for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of:
☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries
🌮 Local cuisine
🏛️ Museums of all kinds
🌳 Gardens & parks
🛏️ Boutique hotels
🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations

All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Having lived in North East London for 2 years, eating my way around the cute independent haunts consistently this is my well curated and tested list of some of the best places to get your foodie fix. 

I believe North East London is the best area for anything gastronomic in London - kicking central London's a** - from cocktails to dinner you can have many nights sorted with this region alone.

Lyle's

Cuisine: Modern British

Situated in Shoreditch, Lyle’s is known for its minimalist design and a focus on British ingredients. The restaurant has one Michelin star, and the menu changes daily, reflecting seasonal availability.

Signature Dish: Varies daily, but expect dishes like grilled turbot with seaweed butter.

Perfect if you want a bit of a splurge. Set menu is the only thing on offer for dinners. You will leave with taste buds well tantalised.
