At every Hoxton around the world, we give our guests a neighbourhood Survival Guide, which points them in the direction of all the best things to do, see and taste in the area. Now, we’re adding a new section for sustainability, to show our guests around the hottest, greenest places on our patch. That ranges from boutique and vintage shopping to museums and repair shops to the neighbourhood’s most loved green, organic or eco-friendly restaurants and bars. We call it The Good Guide – and you’ll find a sneak peak version below – happy exploring.
