Wondering about the best things to do in Shoreditch by tube? Here’s the first thing a local will tell you: Shoreditch doesn’t technically have a Tube station.

Six Tube lines converge here, Eurostar trains depart for Paris and Brussels, and the surrounding neighbourhood — once a byword for post-industrial neglect — has become one of the city’s most genuinely exciting places to spend a day. This is the…
The Central line is London’s spine. Stretching 46 miles from Ealing Broadway in the west to Epping in the east, it carries more passengers than any other line on the Underground — around 280 million journeys a year.
