What Shoreditch Smells Like

The sensory geography of Shoreditch and what it reveals about the neighbourhood

By Harper-Thames, Shoreditch journalist.

The Geography

The sensory geography of Shoreditch is the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood in the form that the data does not capture: the specific smell of coffee that drifts from the specific coffee shops on Redchurch Street; the specific noise of the Boxpark speakers that carries to the junction at Shoreditch High Street station.

The Change

The change in the sensory geography of the past decade: the specific smells of the market present on Brick Lane on Sunday mornings have changed as the market composition has changed. The specific noise of the nightlife that defined the area after midnight has diminished as the licensing restrictions have moved the nightlife indoors.

Harper-Thames Coverage

Harper-Thames covers the sensory geography because the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood requires the qualitative observation alongside the quantitative data, and because the sensory experience is the experience of the neighbourhood that the data does not measure.
