Where do Shoreditch locals go?
Pho House
After trying nearly all of the Vietnamese restaurants on Kingsland Road, this is by far the best. The setting is cool with graffiti style art on the walls and the service is excellent compared to other places on the same road. Complimentary tea and watermelon at the end is exactly what is needed after trying the extensive menu of pho, noodles, summer rolls and fresh fish.Read more

Pro8l3m
PRO8L3M is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored: platinum records, debuting at the top of the OLIS charts, crashing servers, and selling out the largest concert venues in Poland. Since their debut in 2013, Oskar and Steez have remained at the forefront of the Polish music scene. The duo avoids following trends, creating a sound rich with references to the culture of the 80s and 90s, from Polish pop to club music. This style allows them to reach fans of various genres, from hip-hop to electronic and alternative music. Their work mixes new technology, futurism, and thrilling storytelling. Their creativity extends into visual arts with award-winning videos, album artwork, and immersive experiences. Each concert is a unique audiovisual show. From the start, their albums and mixtapes have stood out for their conceptual nature. PRO8L3M explores dangers of technological expansion, deconstructs visions of contemporary Poland, and portrays nightlife in big cities-suspenseful narratives with violence, sex, urban poetry, and pop culture references. Since their debut with C30-C39, PRO8L3M has been awarded multiple times. After the “Art Brut” mixtape, the band was named Artist of the Year by Aktivist, and “Ground Zero Mixtape” became the first rap mixtape to win a Fryderyk Award. The album “PROXL3M” (2023) summarized ten years on the scene. Announced for October 2025, “EX UMBRA AD LIBERTATEM” is a return to their rap roots: new tracks, Oskar’s powerful verses, and Steez’s eclectic beats based on unusual samples-raw, classic, and focused on real life. If you have any queries or would like more information about access at Village Underground, please see our FAQs here: https://bit.ly/3EhSLgF, or contact [email protected].

About Shoreditch
Shoreditch is an area of London within the London Borough of Hackney. It is a built-up part of the inner city immediately to the north of the City of London, located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east north east of Charing Cross. Shoreditch has, since around 1996, become a popular and fashionable part of London. Often conflated with neighbouring Hoxton, the area has been subject to considerable gentrification in the past twenty years, with accompanying rises in property prices. During the second 'dot-com' boom the area has become popular with London based web technology companies who base their head offices around Old Street.
