Since the mid ‘90s, Shoreditch, like its neighbour Hoxton, has become a hugely fashionable and popular part of London. Prohibitive West End Prices for office space precipitated the move which has seen the area, which was a former citadel to the working classes, colonised by the creative industries. Clubs, bars and restaurants rival those of the West End and the proliferation of Art galleries and media business are further testimony its transformation. Its close proximity to the City has fuelled further gentrificaton though one of its more infamous claims to fame is that it is now home to the highest concentration of strip clubs in London.
