Us and our neighbourhood
Welcome to The Hoxton, Southwark, the third Hoxton in our hometown of London – in the city where it all began. This London borough is known for its colourful history. Right here is where famous London pub The Prince Albert once stood. Patrons would bet on sport from their barstools, handing over fistfuls of cash to the pub’s very own licensed bookie!
During the 17th and 18th Century, factories and warehouses popped up all along the riverbank. These days, many of them have been converted into galleries, bars and restaurants in and around nearby Borough Market. When you’re done feasting and guzzling, go for a stroll along the Thames, open your mind to some modern art, or catch a play in one of London’s oldest theatres. The South Bank has it all.
The Little Breakfast
As they say, it’s the most important meal of the day! We deliver a daily breakfast bag with juice, fruit and a breakfast item to your room for just £5 per person. All you have to do is fill out the bag, pop it on the hook outside your room, and it will be waiting for you in the morning with a little something to help you start your day off right.
For something bigger, check out Albie in the lobby or order Room Service in.
