There are a lot of things to do in Shoreditch on Sunday, but there are things you can ONLY do on Sundays. So here is the ultimate itinerary on what you should do in Shoreditch.
Below is the map of spots you have to hit. There are few places that only open on Sundays so please keep on reading, so you don’t miss out on anything.
1. Columbia Flower Market
Because I live only 15 minute walk from Columbia Flower Market, I almost go there on Sundays even though I never buy flowers.
You can look around the flowers but the best part about the flower market is this little alley way called, Ezra St.
If you walk up / down Columbia market, you will see a tiny alley way in the middle. Go in there.
The vibe is so calming and chill (even though there are 1000s of people), I just like to sit and have a coffee. Or more like a Bloody Mary at Campania.
The best is to sit outside at Campania, but you will have to go early to get a seat.

If you can’t get a seat at Campania, on the side you can get a coffee for to go, and just sit on the sidewalk. Across from Campania, there is also an oyster shack where you can slurp on oysters.
After just chilling at Columbia market in the morning, slowly head to Pho Mile.
2. Pho Mile
After Campania, head to Pho Mile. There are many Vietnamese restaurants there.
I know you will be a bit hungover from Saturday drinking, and pho is the best cure for it.
That is why I always include to go to one of the Vietnamese restaurants when my friends visit from Korea.
I always take them to Song Que Cafe, but there are many other good ones on the street.

In my opinion, Song Que Cafe is the closest to what I always had in Vietnam.
After pho, I usually went to Ace hotel for a coffee and a rest at the hotel, but it is now closed for renovation (due to Covid), so we will have to skip this part.
3. Brick Lane Market
Now we head to Brick Lane Market.
Brick Lane is probably one of the most famous street in London.
It is known to have the best Indian curries in U.K (but I will give you a better recommendation soon).
Before you head to Brick Lane, pass by Red Church St.
This is where all the hipster are at and cool shops like Aesop, Labo, APC and more are at.
Also, if you are not feeling pho, you can also opt in for Dishoom.
It is the best Indian food you can get in Shoreditch and it is one of the most instagrammable restaurant.
Usually there is a huge line at Dishoom, so it is best to go 15 minutes before opening to avoid any line.

If you follow the map above, you will be standing at the beginning of Brick Lane.
And it starts with the famous Beigel Bake Brick Lane Bakery. It is know for their cheap and excellent salt beef.
It is also famous for being 24 hours.
I know you are probably full, so maybe go back here after looking around Brick Lane.

Now finally let’s walk down Brick Lane Market. The market also only opens on Sundays. And this is probably the best things to do in Shoreditch on Sunday.
Normally it is extremely quite, so make sure to go on Sundays.
You can just walk around, but you should go into all the vintage shops.
I also ended up buying a hat that I only wore it once….
I am not an expert on vintage shopping, but the most well known shops are ROKIT, Brick Lane Vintage Shop, Rough Trade East and AKITA.
Here you go!
This is it for the itinerary. You will be exhausted and probably slowly over your hungover now.
So you should start drinking now again, and here are some of the bars I love in Shoreditch.
