3-star boutique stay above a pub with rooftop greenhouse

Dining

The Culpeper Bedrooms operates a rooftop greenhouse that supplies herbs and produce used in the pub kitchen. The restaurant serves British and French cuisines using locally sourced ingredients from the greenhouse and nearby suppliers. Guests receive 10% off food and drink at the ground-floor pub during their stay.

Accommodations & Pub Atmosphere

The rooms are located on the two upper floors above a lively pub, yet many guests report the space remains quiet due to double glazing. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and tea and coffee making facilities. The building dates from the 19th century, giving the bedrooms exposed brick walls and sloped ceilings.

Local Breakfast & Welcome Drinks

Breakfast is served at the sister hotel The Buxton, a two-minute walk away, offering a continental spread with pastries, granola, fresh fruit, and hot drinks. Guests receive a free welcome drink - a pint of beer or a glass of wine - in the pub on arrival. The pub's menu changes seasonally based on what is grown in the rooftop greenhouse.

Location

The hotel sits on Commercial Street, a 5-minute walk from Liverpool Street Underground Station (District Line) and a 15-minute walk to Brick Lane's Sunday market. The Tower of London and Sky Garden are within a 15-minute walk. London City Airport is 10 km away, and the hotel can arrange luggage storage before check-in and after checkout.

Services

The ground-floor pub welcomes dogs, making it a convenient stop for pet owners exploring the area. Guests can store luggage from 11 am before check-in (3 pm) and after checkout (11 am) at no extra charge. The hotel provides complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the building and offers a private dining terrace for special events.

“I see this property as a rare find in bustling London, blending a local pub atmosphere with comfortable, uniquely decorated rooms. Its proximity to transport links and vibrant Shoreditch makes it ideal for travellers eager to explore the city. The delicious breakfast served at a sister restaurant nearby seals the deal.”
