The Hoxton, Southwark, the third Hoxton in our hometown of London. 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 barstool, handing fistfuls of cash to the pub’s very own licensed bookie! We have 192 bedrooms, 2 restaurants- Albie & Seabird and our first Working From_ location not just in London but Europe! Albie is our all-day neighbourhood dining spot, drawing inspiration from the French and Italian Riviera. Seabird is our rooftop restaurant on the 14th floor, boasting an impressive raw bar, London’s longest oyster list and panoramic views of the city.
Albie: Albie is our all-day lobby spot where you can expect proper breakfasts and comfy seats, crowd pleasing modern dishes and a killer wine and cocktail list to see out the night.
Seabird: Enjoy panoramic views in the heart of Southwark. Featuring an array of sea-to-table offerings with Portuguese and Spanish influences.
Working From_: A desk with a view. Working From_ Southwark is located in The Hoxton, Southwark right by Blackfriars Bridge, a short stroll from Waterloo and London Bridge stations, and in good easy distance of Borough Market for your lunch break. It’s a place to come and get stuff done, with all the comforts of home but none of the distractions.
