Scene
Modern, industrial decor and a hip and youthful crowd
The Hoxton, Shoreditch is chic and modern, and attracts a young, hip crowd eager to be in the heart of one of the trendiest parts of London's East End. Its modern brick facade gives it the air of an office building from the outside; exposed brick and beams in the small lobby contribute to a modern industrial vibe. There's also a vintage-style photo booth in the lobby, and DJ performances on weekends. Common areas have tables strewn with books and the occasional record. The hallway walls are adorned with curious paintings of anthropomorphized woodland creatures in Victorian garb. Weekly events lend a cultural vibe: live bands, whiskey tastings, and the like.
