Fantastic place with great food and natural wine. Lovely energy and ideal with a group of friends or cozy with 2.

Favourite walk at night, especially in the summer.  Quite dramatic, very romantic. 

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

Inspired by Dave Eggers’ projects in the USA such as the Pirate Store in San Francisco and Superhero store in Brooklyn, The Monster Supplies Store in Hoxton is home to the Ministry of Stories: A volunteer run organization, founded by Nick Hornby, to help young people with creative writing of all kinds through workshops and free mentoring sessions. The store is the “Purveyor of quality goods for monsters of every kind” with fascinating bottles and tins containing everything from eyeballs to Zadie Smith’s short story Mortal Terror.

Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.
