About Shoreditch & Old Street
Shoreditch and the Silicon Roundabout corridor (Old Street, City Road, Tabernacle Street) is London's tech heartland. Stripe, Monzo, Deliveroo, TransferWise (Wise), Just Eat and dozens of unicorns either started here or scaled here. Building stock is varied: warehouse conversions on Curtain Road, modern towers around Old Street roundabout, and characterful brick stock down Great Eastern Street. Floorplates range from 800 sqft creative units up to 25,000 sqft full-floor leases at the Bower or White Collar Factory. Pricing is now competitive with the City but you get materially more character and a deeper hiring pool for engineering, design and product.
