A Quick Read

Just some lunchtime literary entertainment for you... an amusing article re Shoreditch House.  Check it out: GQ Daily

Shoreditch in the News!

Hackney was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal in an article detailing the neighborhood and why it would be a good place to stay for the upcoming Olympics.  Journalist Sarah McBride does a decent job at explaining some of the best spots to eat/stay/play while in the area, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see that other people are starting to appreciate and recognize the neighborhood as well!  Although we also couldn't disagree more with her description of Shoreditch as being suffocatingly hip.  Sorry you can't hang, Sarah.

Pixies Surprise Show!

Last night, the Pixies titillated a lucky crowd by performing an impromptu set at the Village Underground in Shoreditch.  Frank Black and fellow band mates played a 13-piece that perfectly  coincided with the artwork from their upcoming boxset 'Minotaur', which was also being showcased at the venue.  Some of the audience included the Klaxons' Jamie Reynolds and James Righton, and My Bloody Valentines' Kevin Shields.  Sure wish we had happened to be there!  Just goes to show you never know what can happen in the neighborhood.

This just in...

Woody Allen is location scouting in Shoreditch for his upcoming feature with the filming set to take place in July.  The currently untitled project is set to star Nicole Kidman, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts and Freida Pinto, to name a few.  Our humble abode is up for the leading role...watch this space.
