Tea Dances at Spitalfields will also be making a return and further Tea Dances are pencilled in for Wednesdays, 31st August and 28th September, subject, of course, to any future changes in Government guidance. Admission to the Tea Dances is free, and interval refreshments are also free for dancing participants. Live music courtesy of Michael Spencer and his New Covent Garden Dance Orchestra is guaranteed to keep toes tapping for the entirety of the event.

Hart Shoreditch x Atelier Roc For London Design Festival
During London Design Week (17th to 25th September), the hotel will be showcasing a series of artworks and art installations titled The Art of Nature by Atelier Roc. The exhibition will showcase the design studio’s first limited-batch throw collection as well as take viewers on an artistic journey of the design and fabrication process. The installation, Woven Forms, will envelope the striking Hart Shoreditch’s industrial staircase with a contrasting fabric. The staircase railing, which spans eight metres from floor to ceiling, will be used as a giant warp and will reveal an immersive journey from the top of the staircase to the lower ground floor where guests can sit and observe the woven installation from a different vantage point. The hotel has also commissioned Yasmine Faress, founder and director of Atelier Roc, to design customised cushions, rugs and tapestries for the hotel’s suites and lobby which will remain as permanent pieces and lovely additions to the hotel design.
