During the 1980s and 90s, East London embarked on a thrilling creative renaissance. Lured here by the promise of cheap rents, a new generation of artists and photographers reclaimed the area\u2019s abandoned factories and warehouses, repurposing them as studios for work and life. A unique, bohemian spirit has defined this patch of the city ever since.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re on a mission to keep this creative pulse alive in the neighbourhood, so it\u2019s our pleasure to showcase a gallery\u2019s worth of\u00a0iconic British\u00a0photography. This includes our permanent collection and rotating exhibitions in our reading room and mezzanine lounge space. Our bar and restaurant is decorated with black-and-white London street photography, taken by rising stars such as Amelia Shelbourne, Sabela Peinado, Brunel Johnson and Nico Froehlich.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been inspired by the photography on display, you can create your own shots with our Photo Lab experience. Forget relying on your phone camera; here, we are reviving the art of point and shoot. Click away and capture your favourite Montcalm East moments \u2013 or venture further afield with a local shutterbug, who will help you with that money shot.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n \n

More than just a hotel, Montcalm East is a creative hub, showcasing an array of London-made artworks, carefully curated by Culture A. Textured, collage-style prints hang in rooms and communal spaces: a tribute to the weathered, peeling street posters that decorate Shoreditch\u2019s graffitied walls.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include a street-art-inspired textile by London-based print artist Lisa King, a large-scale, hand-painted illustrative mural by Hackney-resident, Carlos Penalver, and collaborations with partners such as Ravensbourne, University of London and Proud Gallery. Get the down-low on our artworks via nifty QR codes, which cameo as modern art labels. The cultural kicks continue in our erudite reading room, stocked with brilliant books from Hoxton Mini Press, plus a bunch of trendsetting city zines.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n \n \n \n
