GTA VI London: 10 Things You Must Be Able To Do

9. Batter Hipsters In Shoreditch & East London

Shoreditch, with its graffiti, lycra-wearing morons riding around on unicycles or those weird circus-bikes with the gigantic front wheels, its cat, cereal and porridge cafes or its vintage clothes stores that sell admittedly cool clothes at reasonable prices - it's the heartland of 'hip' London, and its absurdity would need to feature in any new game in London, never mind GTA. London's coolest area (it's gone way past the slightly edgy 'trendy' status now) is brimming with weirdness. Around every corner you look, you'll find something to irritate - an exhibition showing dishevelled boxes of half-eaten kebab in perspex casings, or a top-knotted dude successfully wooing some woman about how tai-chi really 'opened up' his sexuality. Wouldn't it just be a blast to take a digital grenade launcher to the whole thing? There'd be opportunities for weird and kooky side-missions around here as well. Maybe you need to get your hands on real body parts for someone's art exhibition, or have a unicycle race against hipsters around the area. Or how about a 'Rampage' street brawl against any of them attacking you with Yoga and Pilates moves while you fend them off with knuckledusters?
