Update on The Hoxton Feb 2013: They have 11 Accessible rooms. Look out for the PAD (Pictorial Access Statement) we are producing showing all the less able facilities at The Hoxton. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. The Hoxton is the most disabled aware place I have been to so far. Situated in Shoreditch on Great Eastern Street it is identified by…
A few weeks ago I and the American Lieutenant went to Shoreditch to update my previous review. There was too much ‘trendiness’ to see in one visit. We started at The Hoxton, Urban Lodge – one of the most disabled aware places I have ever been. I will review in full later, needless to say…

As a wheelchair user, it is even more fortunate that the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games are set to be the ‘most accessible yet’ according to Transport For London (TFL).
