Hoxton Tom McCourt, influential in the late 1970s and early 1980s mod and oi/punk scenes and founder of the band, the 4-Skins Historical introduction: General, Survey of London: volume 8: Shoreditch (1922), pp. 1–5. accessed: 28 September 2009 Manufacturing developments in the years after the Second World War meant that many of the small industries that characterised Hoxton moved out. By the early 1980s, these industrial lofts and buildings came to be occupied by young artists as inexpensive live/work spaces, while exhibitions, raves and clubs occupied former office and retail space at the beginning of the 1990s. During this time Joshua Compston established his Factual Nonsense gallery on Charlotte Road in Shoreditch and organised art fetes in Hoxton Square. Their presence gradually drew other creative industries into the area, especially magazines, design firms, and dot-coms. In the Victorian era the railways made travelling to distant suburbs easier, and this combined with infill building and industrialisation to drive away the wealthier classes, leaving Hoxton a concentration of the poor with many slums. The area became a centre for the furniture trade. [3] Inspired by the vibrant culture and creative energy of East London, Hoxton Gin is modern reimagining of the classic juniper spirit with bold presentation and even bolder flavour.

British History on-line, disagrees on this point, and considers the derivation lost in the past; it is however probable that it refers to an individual. To be fair, it’s not the first time Gerry has unleashed this unconventional product on the market. First off it was labelled CP Gin (the initials of Calabrese and then partner Andy Pearson) and marketed at bartenders. It didn’t do well. This time the recipe has been adjusted a bit, the location of the bar has taken centre stage and the emphasis is on the consumer. We think it’s going to do much better. Recipes Mary Wollstonecraft, social reformer, writer and mother of Mary Shelley, was born and spent her early years here. In the 1860s Hoxton Square became home to the Augustinian Priory, school and Church of St Monica (architect: E. W. Pugin) built 1864-66 and the first Augustinian House in England since the Reformation era. [21] Hoxton's public gardens were a popular resort from the overcrowded City streets, and it is reputed that the name of Pimlico came from the publican, Ben Pimlico, [11] and his particular brew.Brewer, E. Cobham. Dictionary of Phrase & Fable. Pimlico (London)". Bartleby.com . Retrieved 18 February 2014. Hogesdon" is first recorded in the Domesday Book, meaning an Anglo-Saxon farm (or "fortified enclosure") belonging to Hoch, or Hocq. [3] Little is recorded of the origins of the settlement, though there was Roman activity around Ermine Street, which ran to the east of the area from the first century. In medieval times, Hoxton formed a rural part of Shoreditch parish. [4] It achieved independent ecclesiastical status in 1826 with the founding of its own parish church [5] dedicated to St John the Baptist, though civil jurisdiction was still invested in the Shoreditch vestry. The Worshipful Company of Haberdashers remains Patron of the advowson of the parish of St John's. [6]

The modern area of Pimlico derives its name from its former use in Hoxton. Bold and perfumed on the nose. Hoxton Gin definitely smells like a coconut rum, with a strong, deeply overpowering coconut bouquet. Now I won’t ponder the coconut rum angle any further, because others have done it quite well already (spoiler: it doesn’t taste like rum). It smells smooth and inviting. Hardly a hint of juniper, and very little on the nose would give it away as being a gin. The National Centre for Circus Arts is based in the former vestry of St Leonard Shoreditch Electric Light Station, just to the north of Hoxton Market. Inside, the "Generating Chamber" and "Combustion Chamber" provide facilities for circus training and production. The building was constructed by the Vestry in 1895 to burn local rubbish and generate electricity. It also provided steam to heat the public baths. This replaced an earlier facility providing gas-light, located in Shoreditch.

By the end of the 17th century the nobility's estates began to be broken up. Many of these large houses came to be used as schools, hospitals or mad houses, with almshouses being built on the land between by benefactors, most of whom were City liverymen.
