Papermill, Shoreditch  

Sitting at the wrong end of Curtain Road, away from the bustle of Hoxton, Papermill looks unwelcoming. Everything from the blackened glass, to the cheap typeface and pink neon lights make it look like the ultimate chav's pub. Inside too, the preponderance of pine and the drab lighting didn't help. However, so near to Liverpool Street, there were no chavs to be seen. Rather, it was pleasantly busy, filled with suited city workers and less Hoxtony office workers. The atmosphere was relaxed and large groups people either played pool inside or were drinking fizzy lager in the large beer garden. Why people choose to come here, however, is somewhat of a mystery - but they do - and the owners of Papermill, at least, must think they're doing something right. It goes without saying there are lots of better places nearby.
