Description
This evolved from the former Pimlico tea gardens, a tavern and a saloon, into a 3,000-seat theatre, designed by Finch Hill. Here fee-paying 'gentle and middle class' people took their exercise in the extensive grounds between Pitfield Street and Kingsland Road; [18] including the poet Charles Lamb. Gerry set out to break the mould in the spirits world and capture the flair of East London based on flavour profile, brand and drinking experience. The two districts have a historical link as part of the same manor, and in the 19th century both formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch.
The finish isn’t in line with some other boutique gins in terms of a dry juniper on the palette, but there is a drying sensation in there. Hogesdon" is first recorded in the Domesday Book, meaning an Anglo-Saxon farm (or "fortified enclosure") belonging to Hoch, or Hocq.Aske's Almshouses [14] were built on Pitfield Street in 1689 from Robert Aske's endowment for 20 poor haberdashers and a school for 20 children of freemen. 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. She and her sisters longed to go on the stage, and haunted the local Royal Eagle Tavern music hall, on City Road (where their father also worked, as a waiter).

The ambassador was possibly Anthony de Castillo, who was linked to the Tudor spymaster Francis Walsingham through the Portuguese double agent, Dr Hector Nunes. Non-conformist sects were attracted to the area, away from the restrictions of the City's regulations.During this time Joshua Compston established his Factual Nonsense gallery on Charlotte Road in Shoreditch and organised art fetes in Hoxton Square. 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. We set out to bottle that unique East London energy, challenge the traditional spirit mould whilst providing you with a premium drinking experience.
After the distillations process the spirit is reduced to 43% ABV and is then filtered and rested in steel tanks for two months. Hoxton is a new and revolutionary type of gin trying to break the mould of the original gin drinker and appeal to a youthful audience. The northern half of the district is more residential and contains many council housing estates and new-build private residences. Undeterred by the specter of the family business hanging over his head and ten tons of expectations, the kid decides he wants to be a banker, an artist, a poet, or whatever.Unfortunately it appears that Sainsbury’s will no longer be selling it which leaves me at a loss as to where I can purchase it. Almshouses endowed by Robert Geffrye were estabslished by the Ironmongers' Company on the Kingsland Road in 1714.
