What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The brand’s characteristic irreverence is right at home on this side of town; while Nhow London is liberally festooned with tributes to royals past and present, the angle is quite a bit more ironic than you’d expect
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Wedged between Islington and Clerkenwell, the property offers a quiet canal-side base fifteen minutes on foot from Shoreditch nightlife.
The rooms
Behind colourful townhouse doors, bedrooms balance exposed plaster ceilings and timber feature walls with rainfall showers and abstract Union Jack rugs.
The gym
The lower-ground fitness room holds Technogym cardio machines and free weights across black and yellow rubber flooring.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Guilty London serves international comfort food beside green leather banquettes, and the circular yellow bar pours craft cocktails.
How it began
Opened in 2020, the hotel reinterprets classic British iconography through a tongue-in-cheek punk lens inside the 250 City Road development.
