Restaurant AGM - Llama Inn

The Hoxton, Shoreditch – our first hotel – found its home in a former car park, and just like the neighbourhood, has evolved over the years into a fixture of the East London scene. Shoreditch has become one of the most happening areas of London, and we’re bang in the middle of it, with 210 bedrooms, the Apartment, and two in-house restaurants – Hoxton Grill and Llama Inn.

Hoxton Grill: An all-day American restaurant in Shoreditch, East London - complete with cosy leather booths – serving American-inspired fare, many a Hox classic, natural wine, banging cocktails and an unmissable Sunday Roast.

Llama Inn: A freewheeling, modern approach to Peruvian cooking, with an exciting menu of ceviche, small plates, sharing dishes, natural wine and standout cocktails at our rooftop Peruvian restaurant in Shoreditch.
