Hoxton 

Lively and creative, Hoxton is a fashionable central London district, part of the historic borough of Hackney. Its transformation from a rough part of East London began with the wave of creative, contemporary Young British Artists who settled in the area’s disused warehouses at the start of 1990s. Modern tech and media professionals followed and soon, together with the neighbouring Shoreditch, the area became home of affluent young entrepreneurs and acquired the prime London district status. Located in the Borough of Hackney, Hoxton borders Shoreditch, Haggerston, Islington, Old Street and the City.

Hoxton Street and Hoxton Square make up the very heart of Hoxton district. Back in 19^th century, Hoxton Street was London’s furniture and carpentry trade centre. Today, this vibrant market street is dotted with cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants. It stretches from Shoreditch Park and Regent’s Canal to Old Street, and is a place to get amazing food ranging from the classic Cockney pie and mash to trendy but affordable hearty edibles. The street features star outlets such as 7 Seasons - a family run shop offering a fantastic range of craft beer from independent UK brewers, and for the amazing fresh street food it gives way to its famous Saturday market. The nearby Hoxton Square has undergone many radical alterations too. Only a few decades ago this traditional London green garden square surrounded by a tight grid of buildings was home to a diverse crowd of artists, musicians, photographers and small independent companies. Today, the hi-tech corporate residents dominate here offering services related to digital innovation, data science and gaming. The neighbourhood of Hoxton Square has a variety of popular clubs, restaurants and galleries (XOYO, Queen of Hoxton, Hoxton Hall, Museum of Home, Tramshed, Shoreditch House, Ace Hotel, Hales Gallery, White Cube, Parasol Unit and Victoria Miro Gallery) making it a unique central London residential, commercial and tourist destination to rival Soho.

Hoxton’s housing stock is a mix of listed Georgian and Victorian terraces and houses, converted warehouses, a few post war estates, and new modern developments. Space for new builds is limited, so Hoxton offers small-scale boutique developments which often replace former industrial sites.
