London's rigor and dynamism
It's all here
Urban planning expert Jane Jacobs once said, "If the streets of a city look interesting, then the city will also look interesting; If the streets look dull, the city is also dull. ”
If you think about it, all the cities that are suitable for living have interesting streets. Take a closer look at Shanghai's Wutong District, a small shop full of charm in three steps, and a flagship store at the forefront in ten steps, spring is coming, and new vitality is blooming here.
Farther away, I chose Shoreditch in London.
People who often watch British dramas probably know that the more meticulous the tie is, even the angle of the cane must be paid attention to, when they actually speak, the more witty and humorous they are.
Such is the case in the Shoditch district. On the one hand, there are elite models with numbers floating in the air, known as "Little Silicon Valley"; Turning around, the other side is punk and avant-garde. There is also an ancient theatre with a deep connection to Shakespeare, which is more than 400 years old and has been an important cultural heritage of East London, where the first performance of Romeo and Juliet was performed.
Today, we can even live directly on the upper floor of this century-old theater and experience the brilliant humanism from zero distance.
This is the real British life.
01
In the heart of London
Grasp the quality of life of elites
In the Shodiqi district, there is real laughter and laughter, and there is no white Ding.
It is located in the eastern district of central London, just at the junction of the City of London and the London Science and Technology City, making it both financial industry and technology industry attributes.
Not only Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook and other technology giants gathered here, but also more than 200 science and technology companies and about 1,200 new startups born every year, becoming the world's third largest technology center today, worthy of the name of "Little Silicon Valley".
The City of London has a long history.
As early as the 16th century, the Royal Stock Exchange was located here, and it remains one of the busiest economic trading venues in the world. Today's Financial City is regarded as the "global center of power" by the world's financial giants, and elites from all over the world rush to this hot land to join this tens of billions of pounds of financial war.
The financial city has a rich heritage and natural scenery. Many British dramas love to come here to shoot.
Not only "Investment Banking Storm", "Kill Eve", "Sherlock" and "The Powerpuff Thief" have also come to this historic economic lifeline to stage thrilling bridges.
"Killing Eve" was filmed in the Financial City
In the world's top financial market, business districts naturally need to match.
Bond Street, known as Europe's ultra-luxury shopping street, is close to Oxford Street, a London shopping mall, and Selfridges and John Lewis stand side by side. Whether it is luxury goods or niche boutiques, it meets the different needs of different aesthetics.
The taste buds of gluttons are also fully satisfied.
Legendary chef Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster restaurant is hard to find; Nobu Restaurant, Japan, where Matsuhisa Nobuyuki sits, is a favorite shop for celebrities; Leroy bar, which has been promoted to one Michelin star in recent years, has a comfortable atmosphere and is most suitable for relaxing after work...
What's more, the Shodic district also has several elite clubs.
The British club, which has a strict membership system, can be described as a "second home" for the aristocracy and financiers. Like Shoreditch House, like the Curtain, the cutting-edge lifestyle has it all.

Cultural landmarks everywhere
Every breath is art
The flip side of Shoreditch's financial elite is its dazzling history of civilization and today's world-famous avant-garde street art.
It has three thousand-year-old roads, the land road that was once the land of the king, the only Old Street to be truly named "Old Street", and Shoreditch High Street. Among them, Shouditch High Street was built in the ancient Roman period, with a history of more than 2,000 years, almost the same as the founding time of London, it can be said that it has witnessed the entire process of London from scratch to its peak.
London's traditional theatre district today is in the west, but the first theatre district in history was Shoreditch in the east.
In 2012, the archaeological team dug the curtain theater opened in 1577 three meters underground in the Shodić district. It is both the site of the best-preserved Elizabethan Theatre in the UK and an important World Heritage Site in East London, with immeasurable historical significance – Shakespeare is closely associated with the Theatre of Curtains, which has been the main scene of Shakespeare's plays for more than 20 years.
Two of his most famous works, Romeo and Juliet, and Henry V, were first performed here.
The structure of the earthen and stone of the curtain theatre makes the traces of time clearly visible, and the spirit of classical drama has remained for hundreds of years, so it is no wonder that it has quickly risen to become a cultural landmark that cannot be ignored in London.
Archaeological site
The cultural style brought by the accumulation of history is fascinating, and after a few turns to the Red Brick Street, Shoreditch is the home of street art in Europe, and full of inclusive cutting-edge beauty.
Between the flamboyant personalities, there are quirky elements hidden in every corner here.
Vintage markets where you can find rare items, such as Brick Lane Market, Truman brewery Market; Trendy brand stores gather, maybe your dream out-of-print design is hidden in a certain store; There are many popular bars and nightclubs.
The wonderfulness of Shoditch is really impossible to say for days and nights.

On the center stage of the city
Enjoy the global way to luxury
Lively and calm, Shoreditch is the ideal place to live.
Vanke's overseas development of "The Stage" is a rare new residential project that can represent a luxury lifestyle.
Even in the world, it is rare to see a project with cultural sites inside, "The Stage", which is built on top of the historic curtain theater, and you can feel the cultural breeze of the Renaissance by walking through the atrium.
It is ideally located just 50 meters in a straight line from Amazon's headquarters and within walking distance of the famous Spiffield Market and Broadcircle, the largest pedestrianized business district in central London.
The transportation is also very convenient. There are three Underground stations within 600 metres, with seven underground lines within easy reach of any corner of London. It also includes Liverpool Street Station, the core station of the Elizabeth Line city railway, which opened in early June 2022.
"The Stage" is a veritable East London grand play.
The 540,000-square-foot project features 37 floors and 412 private apartments. The interior is fully equipped with high-end facilities such as a cinema, games room, bowling alley, gymnasium, executive lounge and business meeting room, and the 32nd floor is also intimately set up with a terrace and lounge with exclusive sky view for owners.

The interior design of the residences is unique. The designer is Nicola Fontana, founder of the well-known design firm Argent Design, who is particularly adept at connecting trends in interior design with the environment.
So you'll see her break the stereotypes of luxury house design and boldly put exposed bricks and concrete into the bedroom; The overall furniture is simple and pure, and from time to time there is a piece of utensils with a finishing touch, full of personality.
Beautiful and strange, it fully echoes the cutting-edge cultural temperament of Shodiqi.

In particular, the one-bedroom scarce 05 unit is the most square one-bedroom unit in the whole building, and the cost performance is very high. But there are only five sets left in the whole building, which is very sought-after.
The design of the double balconies provides an unobstructed view of the city skyline of Canary Wharf, and the Financial City is even closer.
In addition, "The Stage" integrates high-quality resources from all over the world, integrating retail, commercial and historical culture.
The Curtain Theater is its central square, from which the name derives; A variety of boutique and retail spaces in the Victorian architectural style, as well as dedicated art spaces, are at the fingertips of the project; Wework, an international shared office brand, has entered the country to create a high-end business office space.
If you have more personal customization needs, no problem. Private bespoke butlers for London's elite provide 24-hour door-to-door service, from personal chefs to costume styling, butlers to nutritionists, private jets to VIP event bookings.
It is equivalent to saying that "The Stage" is not only a residence, but also a comprehensive high-end club, where you can enjoy the top British lifestyle without leaving home.
As life becomes more and more elusive, the more we need modern communities that can closely integrate life, work and play, and bring more like-minded people together.
While enjoying the abundance of the entire Shoditch district, don't forget that the surrounding area also provides high-quality educational resources at all stages.
There are private schools such as London City Girls' School, a pioneer in the field of girls' education in the UK, and Charterhouse School, one of the seven major public schools, and it is very convenient for students to travel to and from Queen Mary College of London, London School of Economics and Political Science, University of Westminster and University College London.

On top of the simple enjoyment of living, it brings immersive British life, which puts you and me in the center of the big stage in London, and freely chooses the rhythm you want.

On the other side of the ocean, Vanke also launched the landmark project "Selene" in Midtown Manhattan, New York, USA.
It is a rare new real estate in Manhattan, with a 360-degree view brought by the all-glass curtain wall, while enjoying the luxury of the entire Manhattan, occupying a unique place in the core of luxury homes around the world. To live here is to be close to countless Hollywood stars.
