The Culpeper Bedrooms - A historic pub-turned-hotel with rooftop gardens, an English bistro, and East End vibrancy
The Culpeper Bedrooms, a 3-star hotel (8.0/10 on Booking.com), occupies a renovated pub on Commercial Street in Shoreditch, blending historic charm with modern amenities. Rooms feature seating areas, flat-screen TVs, and small blue-tiled bathrooms with rain showers, alongside free WiFi, espresso makers, and Bramley toiletries. Guests can dine at the first-floor English bistro, which serves seasonal dishes like smoked salmon with scrambled eggs or harissa-spiced tomato stew, or visit the rooftop garden for grilled vegetables and Rhug Estate chicken. The rooftop also functions as a growing space for herbs and vegetables, with views of London's skyline. Located in East End, The Culpeper Bedrooms is less than 1 km from Liverpool Street Underground Station and nearby landmarks like Old Spitalfields Market (0.5 km) and the Tower of London (1 km). A continental breakfast with sourdough, homemade jams, and poached pears is available each morning at The Culpeper Bedrooms.
Pros
The rooftop garden offers fresh, seasonal dishes and city skyline views.
Rooms include free WiFi, espresso makers, and Bramley toiletries.
Located in vibrant East End, steps from Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane.
The historic pub setting retains original features like rough-hewn walls and fireplaces.
The first-floor bistro focuses on sustainably sourced ingredients.
Cons
No on-site parking is available.
The rooftop operates on a first-come, first-served basis and fills quickly.
“Staying above a lively pub and restaurant adds a layer of urban energy, yet the rooms maintain surprising quiet. The rooftop garden bar offers city views, while inside, thoughtful touches and comfortable beds ensure relaxation. I think its proximity to East Aldgate station and Spitalfields Market creates a blend of convenience and local charm.”
