Brick Lane • Things to do • Stay • Hotels
For a quieter stay near Brick Lane, these hotels lean boutique: considered design, calmer rooms, and bars or restaurants downstairs. Most sit on the Shoreditch edge, close enough to walk back without being on the main drag.
Boundary Shoreditch
Labour and Wait is built on a simple idea: goods should be useful, durable and made to last. It stocks an edit of vintage and new household items—hardware, brushes, gardening tools—alongside notebooks, stationery and a small run of classic workwear like aprons and jackets. From hardware to clothing, everything leans practical for everyday use. The shop is set in a green-tiled former pub.
Town Hall Hotel & Apartments
Set inside a former Edwardian town hall (opened in 1910), Town Hall Hotel mixes boutique-hotel rooms with longer-stay apartments. Interiors keep the civic bones—high ceilings, big corridors—while feeling modern and pared back. On-site, there’s an indoor pool and gym, plus a cluster of bars and restaurants, including the two-Michelin-star Da Terra for tasting-menu nights.
Andaz London Liverpool Street
Housed in the former Great Eastern Hotel (1880s), Andaz Liverpool Street blends preserved Victorian details with a modern, gallery-like feel. The lobby works as a social hub for coffee, meetings and late drinks, while the food offering is spread across distinct spaces—British pub fare at Lady Abercorn’s, an all-day brasserie, a Japanese restaurant, and a wine lounge that also does afternoon tea. It suits City stays that still want Shoreditch within easy reach.
