Author tip

Once you've finished rummaging through the antiquities on offer at Spitalfields Market, saunter across the Millennium Bridge and grab a classic at the famous Globe Theatre. If Shakespeare's not your thing then try Old Stfor, an ever-evolving array of edgy bars and clubs.

Curious fact

The design guru behind the Great Eastern Hotel's renaissance is Sir Terence Conran, who's known for his work on London's Michelin Building and the Design Museum.
