Crouched between two towering chimneys in the depths of Brick Lane sits the Old Truman Brewery. The residents have made it a counter-cultural mecca: Europe’s biggest record label, vast food and vintage markets, independent fashion labels and a number of legendary bars.But behind the hippy façade beats a capitalist heart. Top creative agencies call these converted warehouses home, and it’s not unusual to hear deals made over a cocktail or two in the pedestrianized side streets.
