The Hoxton, Shoreditch

The whole event floor taken as one: seven rooms and the open kitchen at their centre, 256 square metres, laid out to suit. The rooms are furnished as rooms rather than fitted as function suites, and the layout is agreed with the events team rather than picked off a chart.

The lobby restaurant, taken over in 2025 and run as an Italian trattoria in green and terracotta with an open kitchen and a long bar. Seasonal pizzas and fresh pasta, aperitivo into the evening, and live music mid-week. Available for semi-private hire or a full buyout through its own events team.

The two largest rooms of The Apartment opened into one 85 square metre space, with a white column down the middle and windows onto greenery. It takes round tables for a seated dinner, a long boardroom table, or a standing reception.

The rooftop, reached by its own yellow door on Willow Street. A pergola terrace opens off a glazed dining room, and the kitchen sends out ceviche, small plates and sharing dishes from the London outpost of the Brooklyn original. Cocktails run to pisco, and the wine list is natural.

Forty-six square metres with a run of windows onto planting, a pink dado and pale walls. The largest single room on the floor before the two are combined.

Shelves, framed pictures, a striped chaise and a pair of rust-red armchairs against white brick. It works as a sitting room for a drinks reception and takes a long table down the middle when it needs to.

Street-facing windows, walnut cabinetry and a yellow dado, with one long table down the centre. The brightest of the small rooms.

The two studies opened into a single 24 square metre room for a small dinner or a working session.

A small room built around a wall-mounted screen, with a long table and heavy curtains. Twelve at most.

Olive walls, dark cabinetry and a table for twelve. The least formal of the small rooms.

The twin of Study Red, the same size and the same brief.

Twelve square metres for a huddle of six around one table.

Glazed overhead and hung with paper lanterns, with banquette seating and planting around the edges. Light and informal, and the easiest room in the building for a daytime gathering.

The arrival room, and the one everyone remembers: brick, concrete columns, a carved stone chimneypiece and a drum chandelier over sofas and long tables. An area at the bar can be held for a group rather than hired outright.
