It's an artastic space, with an all-black aesthetic splattered by poppy touches like ivy, benches, graffiti by Pure Evil and ultra stylish loos dubbed the "Washroom Gallery." The artist-collective ideology makes sense: the Queen of Hoxton, named after the actress Sara Lane, was founded by a group of creative movers and shakers who wanted to put a ground underneath their constant partying. The music selection unfortunately works like an iTunes playlist on hyperactive shuffle, skipping from Sail on Sailor Nights (Fleetwood Mac) to electro and pop concerts. This is made up for by two art-lined groundfloors and a sweeping rooftop terrace, cementing the club's appeal for exhibitions, party nights or for just a cocktail—the Hoxmopolitan is curiously tasty despite its atrocious name. /system/photos/0045/6172/Picture_1_thumb.jpg 2009-08-25T19:03:44+02:00 London Club 456172 courtesy of The Queen of Hoxton /system/photos/0045/6172/Picture_1.jpg 456182 courtesy of The Queen of Hoxton /system/photos/0045/6182/outside.jpg 456273 courtesy of The Queen of Hoxton /system/photos/0045/6273/Queen_of_Hoxton_club.jpg
