Hundred Years Gallery — Attraction in London

A great relatively new cafe, exhibition and performance venue in Hoxton. Great coffee, great vibe: owned and warmly hosted by the delightful Montse. She's into objets trouve and experimental music.Definitely a place to watch. Today I experienced the entrancing sounds of Jericho Orchestra members with two small children on violin and cello improvising in the downstairs space. Hugo Madureira's beautiful gesso discs in blues and bronzes were laid out on the floor: it was the last day of his debut exhibition. His exquisitely crafted silver with japanned enamel rings were on sale in the cafe upstairs...when I'm rich.... Thanks for an inspiring afternoon: I'll be...

If you're into contemporary music and art and you've not been here, you're in for a wonderful treat. This was a real find, similar in programming to Cafe Oto and Iklectik but small, friendly and very cool. It's very supportive of the local visual arts community and offers ticket prices that are very reasonable and a really nice bar/cafe. It's a cutting edge, cultural gem, I can't recommend it enough. If you want a moving, inspiring experience amongst a nice bunch of people, get down there...

Strolled into the faux-bohemian, dead cafe setting. 3 silent women sat around (tea n biscuits society types). 'TICKETS' an prim looking, stuffy young knitters society type suddenly piped up as we reached the stairs at the end of the room - great social skills. The Website had not specified tickets for this event. In the noughties Hoxton was still and edgy frontier - a exciting place for Art - no longer, not with these sad, uptight, dull, petit bourgeois types now...
