20 minutes from the cringeable ‘ edgy ’ Shoreditch , you ’ ll come across Roman Road . Stretching from Bethnal Green to Bow Church , Roman Road is fast becoming the place for everyone who has finally moved on from the Shoreditch fantasy of ‘ edgy-meets- cool .’ Starting at the Regent ’ s canal , with a coffee from the hatch of one of the barges , you can make your way toward Roman Road with pretty much no sign of a hipster . Tucked behind the Saturday market and in between the ‘ Iceland ’ and the convenience stores , you start to notice a new string of cafe ’ s and restaurants . From the gluten free cake shop , to the coffee shop on the corner with crates as seats , to the pub offset from the Canal which provides plastic glasses so you can dangle your feet ; Roman Road is quickly becoming the cool place to be . 21
