It's sketchy as fook round there. There's a big lift rack adjacent to Liverpool st station. Also I vaguely recall that there's a rack in the yard outside Vibe Bar? I always park up next to Shoreditch High St Station but there are cropped locks and half bikes there which doesn't look good. I use three locks there.

I work on curtain road, which is about 5 minutes walk from brick lane. You would be very welcome to lock to/with mine. I sit on the reception desk keeping an eye all day so as safe as it gets really. Dunno if that helps but PM me if you want to know anything else.

I dont know how "safe" it is but there is a massive row of bike stands outside rich mix on bethnal green road. Its out in the open, there is a clear view from customers inside richmix (if they even care) and it is across the road from BLB (again for what that is worth I dont know)

Again - loads of half bikes and snipped locks on those racks. More than one lock FTW

Vibe Bar racks are a bit shit to lock to, but it's directly in front of their reception and inside a courtyard so thievery would be much more difficult from there. I usually lock up here, when I dare to, and it's always been fine.
Would avoid Shoreditch station and RichMix, one friend has had his wheels nicked twice outside both of them. -

The Old Truman Brewery also has racks in a courtyard next to their reception. I'd be paranoid about leaving a bike there for longer than an hour or two with only one lock all the same.

It's not that near brick lane but if you're coming from east might work - the racks in/around the Royal London hospital at Whitechapel are safe and well-covered with CCTV. Specifically if you go to the entrance of the medical library I don't think any thieves know there are racks there, there are cameras, and students going to and fro all the time.
Still could be a bit of a walk for you... but in case it's useful
I've got a project coming up at an agency on Brick Lane and would like to cycle in to work. However, I'm aware of all of the thieving that goes on in and around Brick Lane.
Is there anywhere in the area with lots of CCTV and solid bike racks where I could leave my bike without having to worry too much? I have a decent Abus U-lock. Thanks.
