I think architecture training is the best single ingredient for enjoying walking around cities...everything is interesting, everything tells a story. I'm biased, of course, but similarly, botany is an enviable education for hikes...
In Shoreditch new bits are interspersed along old streets. This little slice of a house was notable for the datum lines it picked up from its neighbors. And for having a very low roof deck in London—possibly more like an outdoor room judging by the high glass walls. Starkly modern buildings make a vastly better story in old neighborhoods than postmodern buildings like the one in the background that probably thought it was 'fitting in' and getting 'contextual' with its brickwork, but looks awful now.
