Queen of Hoxton
As is tradition at Queen of Hoxton, the bar and eatery will be opening up their rooftop throughout winter, with this year’s theme being Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Vine covered stairs lead to the giant keyhole door which opens onto the mezzanine rooftop decorated to look like a tree house. Expect hanging clocks and mirrors to compliment the gingerbread inspired bar where you’ll find a fairytale concoction of cocktails from Gardeners Grog to The Big Bad Buttered Rum. Don’t forget to sample their menu of delicious dishes from pulled slow roast lamb to chicken schnitzel.
