Shoreditch evolves fast, but 45 London arrives with a refreshing sense of intention. Opening this November on Curtain Road, it introduces a modern house of hospitality where dining, wellness, work and nightlife merge under one imaginative roof. The multi-level destination sits next to Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch and reflects the district’s creative rhythm with precision and confidence.
Shoreditch has long attracted designers, artists, technologists and founders who cross disciplines daily. 45 London taps into that reality, creating a place where ideas, community and downtime flow with ease.
A New Blueprint for Urban Hospitality
Spread across several floors, 45 London feels like a small vertical neighbourhood. Daylight-filled lounges and coworking zones lead naturally into social spaces, event areas and late-night rooms. The design supports modern creative life — flexible, collaborative and often non-linear.
Its centrepiece is 45 Curtain Road, the signature restaurant led by Executive Chef Alex Furusawa-Cadoni. His food blends Japanese precision with Mediterranean warmth, giving Shoreditch a dining experience that feels both grounded and inventive.
This opening expands an already strong local food scene, one we’ve explored in our guide to the best restaurants in Shoreditch.

Dining at 45 London
The restaurant’s interior balances moody elegance with soft green accents and suspended hydrangeas floating above the bar. The lighting is intimate but not dim, polished without formality.
The menu champions bold flavours through sharing plates that express the kitchen’s dual identity. Japanese milk bread arrives with sobrasada, yuzu and honey. Crystal prawn tempura is paired with Burford egg and sesame tare. Parlourde clams come alive with yuzu kosho and garlic oil.
From the Josper grill, flame and smoke drive the larger dishes. Grilled turbot sits beside whole blue lobster with sansho butter, while the Rubia Gallega ribeye delivers depth and richness.
Desserts lean into playful sophistication, from burnt miso and yuzu cheesecake to matcha churros with hojicha dulce de leche and a creative jamón ice cream.
The cocktails echo this approach, with signatures such as Fogo, Luna Hana and Mamma Mia adding a global twist to familiar ingredients.
This balance of precision and warmth aligns with the creative movement happening across East London, a theme also reflected in our feature on top creative spaces in Shoreditch.

As seen in our recent Rum Kitchen Shoreditch review, the district continues to attract hospitality concepts that understand its layered identity.
