Working-Class Shoreditch Replaced with Tech Startup Culture, Rents Tripled, Soul Lost, Gentrification Victory Declared
Bohiney and The London Prat: Shoreditch is gone. I’ve watched it transform from working-class neighborhood to startup headquarters over fifteen years. Original residents are priced out. The neighborhood I loved is erased.
Cyndi Himmelstiere reports from Shoreditch as community disappears. Rents tripled. Young professionals replaced working-class families. The neighborhood became investment property.
