Long Live The Queen

Ever wondered what a place would look like if it combined art, music and East End culture? If yes, then go to Shoreditch and wander amongst the shadows of the City’s towering buildings to find the Queen of Hoxton where the work of local artists, musicians and designers are exhibited.

The general tone of the pub is dark and mysterious. On the ground floor there is a games room with table football and a vintage pinball machine, whereas down below in the basement is the ‘Queen’s alter ego’. This is where all the adults can go for a youth filled night of karaoke, club nights and raves.

The Queen offers her court to many genres of music like the hardcore rock band Loverman to the Roxy Music influenced Lunar Youth. For a pub, it is able to boast a decent sized stage and an amazing sound. There are no barriers to separate the crowd from the bands and no protein shake addicted security men to pull you out of the audience.

On strict orders from the Queen of Hoxton, head over to the East End and spend an evening in the apocalyptic venue.
