It is a thirty minute walk from my campus. I enjoy going there because it is very different from\u00a0the usual places that people are accustomed to in London. Shoreditch is a trendy area with a unique style and atmosphere. It is in the north of the city of London. One of the first things that I noticed is all of the grafitti in the area. It brings a lot of character into the neighborhood. You could find a lot of shops that sell non mainstream clothing. The cinema in Shoreditch is very different too. I was able to catch the new James Bond movie <em>Spectre<\/em> while sitting in a plush armchair.\u00a0\u00a0Even the food is untraditional. I went to a restaurant called the Cereal Killer Cafe which only sold\u00a0\u00a0cereal. You choose from a selection of over 120 cereals, the type of milk you want, and the toppings. The restaurant fit the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_4557-225x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17031 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_4557-225x300-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting event \u00a0that\u00a0I went to in Shoreditch was the hackathon at the London Google campus.
