Used for many period-piece TV shows and movies, this residential street corner is accented by cobble stone streets, red brick windows, white paint trim and a collection of classic cars in the neighborhood. For an old east London feel, this location is a must visit!

Tips
When to go
Best season

Since there isn't any foliage in the shot, you can find similar conditions during any month.
Morning, midday and late afternoon on a cloudy day is best so the area is not overexposed by harsh light.
Field tips
Please be respectful of those that live in this residential area.
Try focusing on the architecture of the buildings by filling the frame so that there is only a small amount of sky in your shot.
This location is also great for portrait shots. Having a human element in your shot will enhance the charm of the quaint neighborhood.

Do nearby
Walk around and take in the unique architecture in the neighborhood.
I recommend going to Brick Lane. It's a popular location in Shoreditch for dining, drinking and nightlife.
