With guest DJs on every weekend, this is one of Shoreditch’s most popular late-night destinations.
The Boundary
Voted one of the top 100 restaurants in the UK, The Boundary serves authentic French dining in a converted Victorian warehouse. Offering ‘restaurant, rooms and rooftop’, The Boundary is also a hotel and has a highly sought-after and often fully-booked weather-proof rooftop bar.
