ShoHo - Shoreditch & Hoxton - has been edgy since Shakespeare established his first theatre here just outside the City walls. London has always been at the cutting edge of all things arty and fashionable and ShoHo is at the cutting edge of London.
Start your day at Old St tube and walk east. Take in some art (of the formal kind) at the White Cube gallery on Hoxton Square, passing by some art (of the street kind) at various points where graffiti artist Banksy has passed before you.
Keep going east and pick up a bunch of sunflowers and a great bagel and Monmouth coffee at Columbia Road, before hitting the retro fashions and furniture of Rivington Street and Curtain Road.
The hardest thing is what to have for lunch - great Vietnamese on Kingsland Road, Jamie Oliver's '15', followed by a cleansing ale by the canal at the Narrow Boat, or cocktails at Lounge Lover.
Luckily you're just in the right spot to take in London's most happening nightlife.
Where to stay: the Hoxton Hotel on Great Eastern Street.
