What they say
Also in AFAR.
The 15 rooms are on the small side, but good designs—space-saving sliding doors and Rothko-esque prints on the walls—make them both efficient and Instagram-friendly.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set at the foot of Brick Lane, the pub puts Spitalfields vintage markets, indie coffee shops, and curry houses within immediate reach.
The rooms
Compact bedrooms make clever use of space with sliding doors, handwoven local blankets, and curated paperbacks from nearby Libreria.
Restaurant
The Buxton Bistro & Wine Bar
Seasonal bistro small plates feature herbs from the rooftop garden, served alongside low-intervention wines and local craft beers.
How it began

The restored Victorian corner pub takes its name from Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, the 19th-century abolitionist and East End brewer.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
