Packing tips

An appetite for culture — you’re well placed to explore the museums, galleries and theatres along London’s South Bank. For appetites of the culinary kind, dial down to order minibar-style requests at grocery store prices (it’s one of the Hoxton’s hallmark waste-saving measures).

Also

Notably spacious for London, The Hoxton, Southwark is the group’s only purpose-built stay in the capital. Popups at Seabird (including Ronnie Scott’s-curated jazz sessions) are big on social cachet, so it’s always worth checking the hotel calendar.

Pet‐friendly

Your dog (up to 18 kilogrammes) can stay for free in any room type at The Hoxton, Southwark — although for comfort, we’d suggest Roomy or bigger; staff provide local walking routes, treats, bowls, beds and poo bags. See more pet-friendly hotels in London.

Sustainability efforts

Its Green Key certification shows that The Hoxton, Southwark strives for sustainability: single-use plastic is banned, bath products are all refillable, minibars are eschewed in favour of groceries supplied on request (to reduce waste), and LED bulbs and sensors lighten energy consumption. Rainwater is collected for use in ground-floor toilets and garden maintenance; this, in combination with fine-tuned plumbing, keeps water use in check. Community initiatives include prioritising local suppliers, partnering with one of the city’s night shelters to support donations, and working with Projects on Walls to showcase pieces by local and emerging artists across the hotel.

Food and Drink

Top Table

On Seabird’s terrace come balmy summer evenings; or book the curtained-off private area for intimate 10-person soirées. Perch at the far corner of the bar to secure the oyster sommelier’s wisdom (and any shellfish going spare).

Dress Code

At Seabird, a marine-inspired shimmer is de rigueur — this dining spot’s sense of occasion calls for glamour. Albie only requires threads as casual or office-ready as your plans for the day.

Hotel restaurant

Albie is The Hoxton, Southwark’s ground-floor dining spot for casual, all-day eats, flowing seamlessly into the wider lobby space at the sociable heart of this stay. Its mod-European menu can flex with your hunger, with comforting burgers, hearty steaks and inventive small plates in the mix. At Seabird, seafood stars — its crustacean-stacked towers are a signature order; a raw bar on ice provides sea-sourced spectacle, and an oyster sommelier shucks as barkeeps pour. Spanish and Portuguese influences are also called upon, and for the fish-wary, grilled prime cuts and vegan alternatives  feature, too.  

Hotel bar

During the day, the Lobby Bar is a lively spot for coffees and pastries enjoyed among co-working Londoners; as the hot-deskers shut their laptops, it’s time for vodka-laced cherry godmothers or tequila-dosed pear gimlets. Up on the 14th, high-flying Seabird gives its cocktails an ornithological flourish; order a Parrotdise (served in a parrot jug) or dragonfruit-pink Flamingo. Both bars pour till midnight; 1am at weekends. Oyster happy hour at Seabird is 3pm until 6pm, when trios of shucked shellfish are dished with flutes of sparkling. 

Last orders

At Albie, weekday breakfast is 7am–11.30am; lunch and dinner run from noon (3pm at weekends) until 9.30pm; weekend brunch is 11am–3pm. At Seabird (closed Sunday and Monday), breakfast is 7am–10am; then it's open noon–10pm (9.30pm, Tuesdays).

You can order up to your room around the clock.

United Kingdom

You’ll find The Hoxton, Southwark in central London on the south bank of the River Thames, a stroll from London Waterloo, Shakespeare’s Globe and the National Theatre.

Planes

London City (35 minutes by car), London Heathrow (an hour’s drive) and London Gatwick (closer to 90 minutes) are your nearest international arrival points. To avoid the capital’s road congestion, all are well connected by rail and/or Overground and Tube with competitive journey times.

Trains

The Hoxton, Southwark is a 10–minute walk from London Waterloo for mainline rail routes to England’s South West, as well as Tube connections for the Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo and Waterloo and City lines. If it’s just the Jubilee line you want, Southwark Tube station is four minutes on foot from the hotel.

Automobiles

There’s no parking at the hotel, but paid public carparks can be found on Southwark Street (a 10-minute walk away) or Kipling Street (20 minutes away on foot).

Worth getting out of bed for

From your base at The Hoxton, Southwark, neighbouring Roupell Street’s 1820s workers’ cottages are well preserved and give a flavour of Georgian London. Gastronomes, take note: Borough Market’s epicurean stalls and glut of eateries are in tasting distance. And Southwark is home to the capital’s lesser spotted Gothic cathedral. Your launchpad is sandwiched between a lineup of London’s cultural heavyweights, too: the South Bank Centre and National Theatre are a wander away. Stroll east and yes, that is a Shakespearean theatre you see before thee at The Globe; and Tate Modern’s contemporary art awaits your critique. An amble across the river, Covent Garden and the restaurants and theatres of the West End are still within walking distance.  

Local restaurants

The Cut Bar & Restaurant is the dining spot for New Vic theatregoers, but as its globetrotting menu of sharing plates, boards and picks testifies, there’s more to this watering hole than just pre-show spicy mai tais. Also on The Cut, The Anchor & Hope is a gastropub with a longstanding reputation for moreish mod-European fare, including rustic terrines, nutty cheese soufflés and handmade gnocchi. For polished Levantine plates in a low-key neighbourhood spot tucked beneath railway arches, book ahead at Bala Baya.  

Local cafés

A 10-minute walk away, en route to Borough Market, Terry’s Café is a family-run pit stop for various incarnations of the full English — fried, delicious and served till 3pm each day. Friday to Sunday, the Southbank Centre Food Market comes alive with traders’ tented stalls including good options for pastries and bakes paired with barista-styled coffee.  

Local bars

Napoleon’s first wife was famed for her parties and glitzy cocktail bar Tonight Josephine, beside Waterloo Station, is here to pick up the hedonistic gauntlet. British pubs are woven into the social fabric of London life, so a quiet pint at around-the-corner The King’s Arms on Roupell Street is pretty much a cultural excursion.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this river-spying hotel in London and unpacked their museum-shop mementoes and Borough Market food haul, a full account of their sociable city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside The Hoxton, Southwark… 

Leap back a thousand years or so and you’ll unearth the Old English origins of the name Southwark — a defensive position on the south side of the river. Today’s hotel ramparts may feel a touch less battle-ready, but a spell at The Hoxton, Southwark is sure to leave you fighting fit.  

Far from guarded, this purpose-built boutique hotel’s MO is to welcome all. A sprawling lobby space is the lively backdrop for anything from morning coffees to after-work cocktails for locals as well as guests. Mid-century-styled rooms on the first six floors are all set for silent slumbers; a members’ workspace fills the higher floors, but you’ll whisk straight past those in favour of the terrace-edged Seabird. This rooftop restaurant is the hotel’s literal and figurative high point, where an oyster sommelier shucks while you sip on flutes of fizz, its capital views are iconic, and seafood stars on the Mediterranean menu. It’s fortifying stuff.
