Old Street station sits at the top of Shoreditch, where City Road, Old Street and Great Eastern Street meet. Its own shops are empty: the retail units in the refurbished underground concourse had still not been let in October 2026, two years after the £132m rebuild of the junction, The Londoner reported. Nincomsoup, the soup bar that traded there, left in 2021.
The nearest shopping is a walk away, south and east down Great Eastern Street, Curtain Road and Tabernacle Street towards Shoreditch High Street. This guide lists shops checked against their own websites and booking pages in October 2026, and the well-known names that have moved since older guides were written.
