What Has Replaced the Shoreditch Pubs
Violet WoolfWhat has taken the place of the traditional East End pubs that have closed in Shoreditch
|By Harper-Thames, Shoreditch journalist.
The Closures
The Shoreditch pub closures of the past decade have produced the specific neighbourhood transformation that pub closures produce in urban areas: the conversion of the specific social infrastructure that the pub provided into residential units, premium residential units, or the specific alternative uses that the building's size and the neighbourhood's demographic demand.
What Replaced Them
What has replaced the closed pubs: several have become premium residential loft conversions; several have become restaurants whose price points serve the neighbourhood's new demographic rather than the demographic the pubs served; and several have become the specific craft beer venues that are the successor cultural form to the traditional pub in gentrified urban areas, serving a different demographic at higher prices for a related but distinct experience.
Harper-Thames Coverage
Harper-Thames covers the pub closures because the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood requires covering what is lost as well as what arrives, and because the pub as community institution served specific social functions that the restaurant and the craft beer venue do not.
