Haberdashers' Aske's almshouses
Along Pitfield Street in Hoxton is this magnificent building which was built by the Haberdashers' Aske's Livery Company. Robert Aske, a Master of the Company in the 18th century, established a foundation to finance the building of Almshouses within a mile of the City of London. By the early 19th century however, the houses were collapsing so they were demolished and a school was erected in 1825. Today, the Haberdashers' Aske's schools are in Hertfordshire and this fine structure has been converted into apartments.

Hoxton: The former Hop Pole public house
This former Truman Hanbury Buxton outlet is in Pitfield Street at its junction with Coronet Street. A specialist website listing closed pubs in London describes it as having been closed before 1985 and lying derelict since, which is remarkable when its external condition is considered. Were it not for the estate agents' signs, you would think it was up and running.

Charles Square, Shoreditch
Not perhaps the prettiest of London's squares, but an oasis of peace close to Old Street nevertheless. It is the responsibility of Hackney Council.
