Shoreditch building where artists Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas had their legendary shop for sale for £1.5m

A four-bedroom house in Shoreditch where Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucas opened their legendary shop 31 years ago is now up for sale for £1.5 million.

The artist pair moved in to the premises, a former doctor’s surgery on Redchurch Street, in the first week of January 1993 and ran it as The Shop for six fleeting but now heavily mythologised months before closing it with a bang with Emin’s 30th birthday party on July 3 the same year.
