HOXTON 7

Hoxton 7 is one of those places that exists somewhere in the ether of London dining. There’s no standing ovation from the crowd, but it’s clean and gives off decent vibes. But if you’re after a show-stopping dish that’ll leave you dreaming about your next visit, you might want to keep scrolling.

The decor is all about that ‘trendy but slightly confused’ aesthetic, and while the hygiene levels are tip-top, the menu might leave you wondering if you walked into a cafe or a restaurant. It’s like they’re playing it safe, and while there’s nothing particularly offensive here, you’ll leave with a full stomach but not much else to remember. If all you need is a quick bite in a clean spot, you’ll be fine, but don’t expect fireworks.
