Welcome to Hoxton

Hoxton is a vibrant and diverse area located in the London Borough of Hackney. It is known for its trendy bars, restaurants, and art galleries, making it a popular destination for young professionals and creatives. The area has undergone significant regeneration in recent years, with many old warehouses and factories being converted into stylish apartments and office spaces. Despite this, Hoxton has managed to retain its unique character and charm, with many independent shops and businesses still operating in the area.

One of the most notable landmarks in Hoxton is the Geffrye Museum, which is dedicated to the history of English domestic interiors. The museum is housed in a series of 18th-century almshouses and features a range of period rooms, from the 17th century to the present day. It also has a beautiful garden, which is open to the public and hosts a range of events throughout the year. The Geffrye Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of design and architecture.

Hoxton is also home to a thriving street art scene, with many of the area's walls and buildings covered in colourful murals and graffiti. The most famous of these is the 'Hoxton Monster', a giant mural of a sea monster that covers the side of a building on Hackney Road. The area has become a popular destination for street art tours, with visitors coming from all over the world to see the latest works by some of the world's most talented artists. Whether you're a fan of street art or not, Hoxton's vibrant and creative atmosphere is sure to leave a lasting impression.
