The Area

Woven through with vibrancy

Decamp to a place where history and haute couture collide. From the rag trade of the 1920s, to today’s vibrant, multicultural melée, E1 has always been edgy, colourful and full of creative vigour.

Knitted into E1’s fabric

A short stroll or even sashay away, is a furiously fashionable mix of culture from the cutting edge to the comfortably stylish. From Whitechapel Road’s 1960s dangerous glamour, to Brick Lane’s colourful curry houses, a dizzying collection of restaurants, bars, pubs and galleries are all close by.

Click your heels a little more, and Old Street’s new gastro strip is truly a place to see and be seen. Finally, St Katherine’s Dock and, across the river, Butlers Wharf, both offer the best in riverside, front row seats.
