Sketch

Heavily hyped on opening - much was made of the sky-high prices in the Lecture Room restaurant - this unique complex is also home to a tea room, gallery space and an excellent bar which has blossomed into one of the most distinctive drinking spaces in London. Fetchingly attired in neon pink and white, the West bar adjoins the vast East Bar lounge area, which you could mistake for the grand hall of a stately home were it not for the white leather walls and expertly mixed martini in your hand. Each area has its own stylish atmosphere, right down to the memorable egg-shaped toilets. Cocktails are slickly executed and as intoxicating as the design.
