I also find the areas of Hackney and Shoreditch as well as some of the renewed parts of Dalston interesting- somewhere which is not too gentrified and feels lived in as opposed to the caretaker areas of London which can be quite boring (and empty) now.
I'll ask around - I don't really have recent direct experience, as I live a 30-minute train journey away from London, so rarely (although not never) have to stay there!
