Shoreditch, Hoxton and Spitalfields, lie at the heart of alternative London and Cool Brittannia. Cheap warehouse spaces attracted the likes of Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin in the early 90's. Now its cobbled brick streets, hip pubs and clubs offer an alternative to the flashy West End. A true Cockney has to have been born within the sounds of Bow bells and this is the East End heartland. Bethnal Green is home to famous Brick Lane, street markets and boxing history while in Whitechapel you can trace the Jack the Ripper's grizzly footsteps.
