Winter warmers

Queen of Hoxton

The Queen of Hoxton has turned their rooftop into a Morrocan Medina for the winter months. Moroccan spices and Shisha scents permeate the night air as you sit around crackling chimnea fireplaces and enjoy a Spiced Hot Buttered Rum or Shimmering Gold Pomegranate Bellini. There’s even a giant Moroccan lamp you can sit inside!
