Londonguide del 2 – Brick Lane!

Här kommer del 2 i vår Londonguide!

London Loves: BRICK LANE

For those of you travelling abroad over Easter, be sure to make London a top destination. Not only is it home to the first ever Beyond Retro, it is also a ginormous hub of creativity and culture that regularly tops the leader board as the world’s coolest cities. With the Olympics and the Queen’s Jubilee just around the corner, all eyes will be on the capital in 2012. But if you’re planning on a visit, be sure to read Beyond Retro’s list of favourite destinations. You won’t find Buckingham Palace or Big Ben on here, these are some of the best kept secrets in London and they’re absolutely essential if you want to get a real taste of this fine city.

You’d be an absolute fool to miss the vibrant, happening area of Shoreditch, where Beyond Retro was born…

Eat: PIZZA EAST

This ultra hip pizza destination has been the go-to destination for Shoreditch kids for a few years now. Opened by the reputable Shoreditch House (the sister to Soho House in Central London, but most importantly, the child of New York’s renowned members bar), the menu boasts some delicious concoctions that are more than just your average pizza. In fact, the cuisine here experiments with different elements, mixing Spanish Tapas with American-inspired clam pizza. Try the potent gorganzola, parma ham and almond pizza and the creamy polenta topped with spicy chicken liver. For the fainter of hearts, the simple salami pizza is also delicious.

The atmosphere is achingly cool, dark and noisy just like a great bar with the added bonus of delicious food, meaning booking is essential. Buon Appetito!

See: WHITECHAPEL GALLERY

The Whitechapel Gallery is one of London’s most important contemportary art gallery. Housing some of the most prestigious artists in modern history, this destination is a must-see if you’re interested in world-class modern art. Some names that have has their works previously exhibited here are Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Lucian Freud, so you can see what all the fuss is about! One of the UK’s first art galleries to be purpose-bulit, this impressive space still retains some of its original features, mirroring the historical spirit of London’s East-end (Whitechapel was Jack the Ripper’s old stomping ground).

Currently exhibiting is Turner Prize winner Gillian Wearing whose work explores public personas and private lives. Be prepared to spend a few hours getting lost in this marvellous gallery.

Shop: ROUGH TRADE RECORDS

This infamous record label opened its doors to the public in 2007, having recently celebrated their 35^th birthday as the daddy of indie music.

Expect to see gigs from some of the most exciting acts in music, whilst perusing their endless reggae section and slurping on a latte from their in-store café. You’ll stumble upon never-before-seen EPs and hear the freshest sounds blaring out of the overhead speakers. Be sure to save some space in your luggage as you won’t be leaving this shop empty-handed.

Late Night: OLD BLUE LAST

Who’s heard of a pub that’s owned and ran by an international magazine? No? Well, The Old Blue Last pub is the baby of achingly cool Vice magazine and houses East London’s newest and best acts in the industry. Come here for late night boozing, dancing and getting pretty messed up with Shoreditch’s trendsetters and movement makers. Every night you’ll find something different, whether it’s a secret gig of your favourite band or a Motown night, The Old Blue can make any evening into a memorable one. And best of all, most of their events are free and the beer is cheap. So be prepared to be a bit squashed once you get inside!

Chill: BRIDGE CAFE

After a heavy one at the Old Blue, with your head full of regret over those things you can’t quite remember from the night before, why not treat yourself to some quintessentially English Victorian sponge cake and a pot of Earl Grey tea? Delightful! The Bridge café has the ambience of a Parisian salon with Marie Antoinette style chaise longues, gilded mirrors and marble tables thrown together with gothic fabrics and heavy, velvet curtains as well as art deco mosaics and lighting. This little treat is hidden under Shoreditch Bridge and has fast become a café legend. With vintage paraphernalia everywhere, their avid collection of paintings and photographs borders on ridiculous, but the warm welcome from the Cypriot owners makes this place comforting and cosy.
