Hoxton East & Shoreditch is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Hackney, sitting on the edge of east London where Hoxton meets Shoreditch. It covers the streets around Hoxton Square and the Old Street area, and is stitched into the city’s transport and business corridors close to Old Street and the creative clusters by Brick Lane.
The ward is notable for a sharp mix of histories and uses: Victorian terraces and council estates sit alongside galleries, nightlife and pop-up retail, while the vicinity of the Silicon Roundabout has made it a magnet for tech start-ups. Street art, the Museum of the Home and a busy leisure economy give the area a lively cultural feel, even as gentrification and rising housing costs continue to shape local social and economic life.
