The Pedibus comes to Shoreditch

Austrian bike ride small

Austrian culture comes to ‘the ditch’ on Thursday 29th March – Having a long month? Bank balance groaning under the pressure of socialising just before pay day? If you fancy something different to do in the evening with no costly bills, look out for the In Pursuit Bike and dirndl girls. This multi-seater ‘pedi-bus’ could be yours for an hour after work – bring some friends and have a few beers.

The pedibus is a 10 seater peddle powered bus and will be making its rounds in the financial district, hitting Tower Hill, Bishopsgate, Spitalfields and Liverpool Street.   On the day you will have a chance of winning a 10 day austrian adventure for two.  With the nice weather we have been having recently this certainly will be a sight to behold as the pedibus passes through the Shoreditch streets!

DOWN THE DITCH (POEM)

Downditch

I was sitting down during my break and came up with this (Enjoy!!):

The Breakfast Club and The Book Club is where you go in the morning

To meet all the other people in like you that are yawning

Tech, dance, Dubstep, hip-hop, Afrobeats,RnB, Soul, Jazz, Funky and of course UKG

All hours of the day all hours of the night Shoreditch and Hoxton has a crazy party vibe

Full of colours and creativity day and night

Hit The Diner for a bite to eat and Shoreditch Grind for a spot of coffee

East Village, Villain, Big Chill Bar, Favela Chic

Wicked spots you should definitely hit

Don’t forget Boxpark, Hoxton Grill and Pizza East where your sure to find a pleasant treat

Albion, Poke, Mother, Relative MO,Cake companies and agencies in the creative space

Beigel Bake is where you go when it get’s late as it’s open 7 days a week all day

Sunday Up Market, Spitalfields Market and Brick lane Market

No markets are the same

Vintage finds, trinkets, furs and jewels and other things that will make you drool

Everyone will think your the epitome of cool

Elbow Room, Hoxton Pony,Mc Queen places where you need to be seen

So you can shake a leg, sing and disturb the shoreditch scene

Partying all night, eating and sleeping all day

throwing all your troubles and worries away

Waking up the next day and and sitting in FIX126

you and your coffee day dreaming of your joys Down The Ditch

Haggerston Tea Room

If there was ever a place to escape the hustle and bustle of city and life, and withdraw yourself into a calm, collected, nurturing atmosphere, then Haggerston Tea Rooms is the place to be.

Just a stone’s throw from Haggerston station, the Tea Room provides a unique, fulfilling sense of enjoyment not only in its high quality products, but in its intention to give the best customer service possible.

The locally produced jams and inviting artwork encourage relaxation and conversation; just how tea was meant to be taken! Artisan bread and an attractive variety of jams, cakes and soothing teas are waiting to be tasted again and again; because once you’ve visited this cosy almost-home, it’ll be hard to stay away.

Frankly, Haggerston Tea Rooms is much, much more than a shop. It is a gem that glorifies the unique traditions that made Britain what it is, and with the approachable and friendly staff, the Tea Room honestly won’t feel any different than your front room.

Haggerston Tearoom, 224 Haggerston Road, London, E8 4HT
