A real rags to riches story, East London has gone from cheap and occasionally cheerful to the very epicentre of trendsetting in record time. From Hoxton Square – packed with young, asymmetrically-haired locals on a balmy Summer’s evening - to the markets, and Kingsland Road for a stretch of bars that runs from the heart of the ‘Ditch, right through Hackney and into Dalston – the crowds getting younger, livelier and more fluoro the further you head.
