Street food and cocktails, whilst it's a nice idea it's usually packed with twits so just a bunch of kettled hipsters in their shipping container mecca.
|
I'm going on Tuesday evening. Looking forward to it.
Also...I'm far from being a hipster. Or so my daughter tells me anyway.:( |
looks great, especially the food outlets, I'll pop over in the week
|
I think I am one of the only people who couldn't care less about it lol one in Shoreditch is pony and the one in Croydon is just filled with overpriced food and shit hipster craft beers
I'll check it out next month when everyone is bored of it and barely anyone goes there ha |
Boxpark is the absolute least interesting part of shoreditch.

An article on it in the latest Private Eye. After their election in Croydon, the Labour Party promised a free music festival every year in the area. Sadly, this has now become Boxpark and they are subsidised by the council to the tune of some £180,000.

Croydon isn't bourgeois enough. Although driving home from the match tonight the East Croydon area looks like a gigantic building site.
|
If it hasnt got a Morleys it isnt croydon enough.

Is this Boxpark permanent or just until they start some "luxury" flats or office complex? I think they're building a Boxpark thing at the Elephant too. In five years they'll be two a penny.

... Rather underwhelmed by what I've seen of the Shoreditch version though. |
