The Loom House · Shoreditch, E1

What's on around you

Welcome to The Loom House. Old furniture workshops turned galleries, Bengali sweet shops, and a market on every other corner. Shoreditch rewards wandering: pick a direction, look up at the murals, and stop when something smells good.

OctoberAround 14°C with showers most afternoons — a light rain jacket is all you need. The clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, so evenings darken early. Half-term runs 26–30 October, so museums and markets are busier than usual.
