Bar, club and art collective, the Queen of Hoxton prides itself on being a youth club for the adults of the east side. Opened in March 2009, the East End venue hosts a tight programme of music accompanied by a rolling gallery of art installations, photographic exhibitions, fringe theatre and screenings. The ground floor is an intricate blend of window etchings, graffiti, ivy and a landscape of benches and screens. While the games room takes in table-football, vintage pinball and a unique Brighton pier 1960's gaming rarity. The Queens alter ego appears in the basement bar, dark and a little twisted, the space caters for her every whim hosting film nights, fringe theatre and sweaty raves. In the summer, a roof terrace with faux grass and white ornamental garden furniture can hold up to 250 people under the sunshine and is used for private events.
