| Twenty years ago, this was rough-and-ready Hackney heartland, where cockneys mixed uneasily with newer arrivals, and seedy strip bars proliferated. Then London’s artists moved in and now it is the trendiest place in the capital, a Mecca for cutting edge fashion, gleaming white galleries and bars that play only the most eye-wateringly cool new music. Keep an eye on the walls, as well, for many of the artists don’t feel the need to obey the law when creating work and the graffiti is impressively weird and witty. Hoxton Square and Jay Jopling’s White Cube gallery are where it all started and remain the heart of the area, while on a Friday night, the bars and clubs of Old Street are a strange place where the pinstripes and ties of the City mingle with the extravagant fashions of the avant-garde. |
