Famous for its blend of cutting-edge fashion, independent boutiques, and artisanal treasures, Redchurch Street offers something for everyone.
The eclectic mix of shops promises a day of shopping that perfectly captures the spirit of East London. In this article we suggest our favourites that you have to check out next time you’re in Shoreditch.
Earl of East
Earl of East is the spot to find artisan and independently made goods. The Shoreditch store is more than a shop; it’s a curated selection of home-lifestyle goods and fragrances from a brand that cares about storytelling, mood and atmosphere.
Born from a love of fragrance, Earl of East started as a market stall in East London, and was built around four principles of Create, Curate, Collaborate and Community. Their Shoreditch shop sells a wide range of products, including their ethically made candles, and is a great opportunity to explore other independent brands.
It’s a one stop shop for customers who are after, not just a present, but a shopping experience with ambience.
TOAST
As you amble further along Redchurch street you will find TOAST sitting on the corner. TOAST is a lifestyle-brand shop that curates clothing, homeware, and functional home-goods, all with a commitment to traditional craftsmanship.
As part of its ‘New Makers’ initiative, TOAST curates its space to focus on pieces from independent designers. For 2025, this includes Danish clay design by Lærke Møller Hansen and textiles created by Sabine Van der Sande.
Labour and Wait
Founded in 2000, Labour and Wait is an icon of Shoreditch. A shop where everyday objects are appreciated by their longevity rather than trendiness. Every item sold reflects the shop’s philosophy, they are built to last and beautiful through simplicity.
Labour and Wait also sells small-batch and niche items which makes it the ideal spot for buying unique gifts.
Le Labo
Entering Le Labo feels more like entering an apothecary, than your typical perfume shop. Le Labo is the home of handcrafted, bespoke perfumes. They offer a “lab‑to‑bottle” experience, each fragrance is freshly compounded and personalised.
Le Labo celebrates understated elegance, attention to detail, and a focus on quality over trends. The store’s stripped-back, apothecary-style interior highlights the perfumes themselves, giving customers an calm, intimate space to explore.
The unique fragrances make this a great shop for finding something personal and different.
Oh My Cream!
The moment you step inside Oh My Cream! you’re greeted by an inviting, thoughtfully curated space where the ethos is simple: skincare and cosmetics that respect both your skin and the planet.
It’s both a retail destination and a place of beauty discovery. The shop stocks carefully chosen brands such as Tata Harper, Ilia and the shop’s own in‑house line. Whether you’re after a luxe organic serum, a botanical hair treatment or a natural lipstick with serious pigment, the store gives you a chance to discover standout brands that prioritise ingredient integrity, ethical sourcing, and holistic beauty.
Jolene
In need of a coffee break? You have to stop in at Jolene, it’s hard to miss.
They offer a range of sweet treats from buttery croissants, pain au chocolat and Danish pastries to hearty sourdough loaves, sausage rolls and creative sandwiches.
Shoreditch Arts Club
If you’re visiting Shoreditch fancy getting properly stuck into Shoreditch’s creative side, Shoreditch Arts Club is hosting The Gesture of Colour with Tallulah Hutson, a hands-on drawing workshop that explores the interplay of colour and dance (on the 15th of December). Otherwise it’s definitely worth exploring the rotating curation of sculptures, installations, paintings and digital art throughout the venue that you can follow from the lobby to the projection walls upstairs.
Smoking Goat
Shoreditch has a plethora of great food options. If all that shopping has you ready for a hearty meal, you should check out Smoking Goat - which serves dishes inspired by Bangkok’s late-night canteens.
