The Story
The Aubergine sat on Worship Street in the early-to-mid 1990s, straddling the invisible border between the City and what Shoreditch was becoming. The Square Mile was still finding its post-Big Bang identity — suspenders loosening, wine bars giving way to something less formal — and the Aubergine was part of that shift. A bar-restaurant with more character than the brasseries of Broadgate, on a street of Victorian warehouses that hadn't yet been colonised.
