  Hoxton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hoxton (origin Hoc's farm) is an area of London (UK) in the London Borough of Hackney, immediately north of the financial district of the City of London.
The area of Hoxton is bordered by Bishopsgate to the south, City Road to the west, Regents Canal on the north side and Shoreditch High Street on the east.
In this period, the new Hoxton residents could be identified by their obscurely fashionable (or "ironically" unfashionable) clothes and their hair (the so-called "Hoxton Fin", as exemplified by Fran Healy of Travis).

 West Hoxton, New South Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
West Hoxton is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
In 2001, West Hoxton boasted a substantial share of its population born overseas, from a wide range of countries, which indicates that this area had a relatively multicultural population.
A comparison of West Hoxton with Liverpool City Council in 2001 shows a higher share of the population born in the Philippines, Fiji and Italy.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Where have all the cool people gone?
Hoxton, on the other hand, became the first great art installation of the Young British Artists: an urban playground tailor-made to annoy middle England, where everyone had scruffy clothes and daft haircuts and stayed up late, and no one had a proper job.
By the end of the 90s, Hoxton had spawned an entire lifestyle: the skinhead had been replaced by the fashionable Hoxton fin as the area's signature haircut, the derelict warehouses turned into million-pound lofts.
Overexposure has destroyed the sense of Hoxton as an exclusive club for the ultra- fashionable: on a Saturday night, the Hoxton-Shoreditch thoroughfare of Curtain Road has lost any sense of an alternative identity, and the Bacardi Breezer-drinking hordes are indistinguishable from those in the West End.

 Redroom - Hoxton Story
Hoxton Story is a unique journey through a "regenerated" London community - a visual and aural living montage of facts, fictions and verbatim testimony.
Hoxton was put on the cultural and media map in the 1990’s, famed as a groovy district du jour, playground to Tracey Emin and a new young British art crowd, home to the Hoxton Fin and spawning a new life style crowd and rash of loft apartments.
At the same time, Hoxton Story is led by a clear vision articulated by artists; it creates work which explores a wide spectrum of social concerns; it aims to provoke debate about how the ‘host community’ might move forward, and in doing so supports positive social change.

 Hoxton Park Airport - 07/05/2002
Hoxton Park Airport is located within my electorate and it is the subject of considerable controversy.
On 3 June 1999 when Hoxton Park was being discussed the honourable member for Liverpool said there was no control tower at Hoxton Park and that planes fly without the direction of a control tower and according to visual flight rules [VFR].
The honourable member, in his attempt to justify the Hoxton Park arrangements, responded to statements made by the honourable member for Liverpool by saying the crash had occurred "despite the fact it was flying under supervision from the control tower at Bankstown".

The map by Walter Hoxton, however, seems to have been the first one intended for a strictly navigational use.
Hoxton was a sea captain, who made many voyages from England to the Chesapeake Bay for the firm of John and Samuel Hyde and Co. Navigation in and around the Chesapeake Bay was difficult because of a multitude of shoals.
Hoxton's chart influenced several later maps of the Chesapeake Bay.

 Hoxton Square bars, restaurants and gallery guide
Possibly the epicentre of all this is hip and happening in Shoreditch (well, it certainly used to be anyway) Hoxton Square still attracts a devoted following of art students, ethnogeeks, Japanese fashion brats and an assorted (and motley) selection of scruffily dressed locals.
There is much more money in evidence these days, which has slightly reduced the areas creative credibility - most of the "proper" artists fled when the developers moved in - but some of the energy is still in evidence.
Its redeeming quality is its cocktails, which are a cut above most of those available in the surrounding area (Hoxton bars are notorious for regarding rum and Coke as a serious cocktail!) Regular appearances from decent DJs also help to the atmosphere fresh and funky.

 Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen London - Bar Review, 2-4 Hoxton Square
The warehouse, makeshift aspect of the décor conveys a very pleasing sense of illicit thrills, as if you were the naughty rebel at school who’d taken over a disused building to smoke and foment revolt, prone to being caught at any moment.
This is partly because one end of the bar is completely glass, and it faces part of the one way system in Hoxton in such a way that when a car drives up, there is a splendid blast of bright headlights which sweeps across the otherwise darkened space dramatically.
However, the management is possibly a bit complacent about the hipness of the venue and the Hoxton address.
