sketch London Summary Review
Sketch London Restaurant and Bar Lounge, located in Mayfair, London, is a teahouse by day and lounge by night adorned with magical and quirky details and surrounded by British visual artist, David Shrigley, gallery.
I travel for chic and enchanting places that care about details. Like a kid in a candy store, I was overwhelmed by the whimsical flair.
I went in Christmas 2016 and entered a world of enchanted wonderland, welcomed by a line of thick pine trees and elevated by its fresh and woodsy scent.
Unleash your childhood playful inner spirit hop scotch your way into one of the restaurants.
The whole complex is unique, with various themed rooms in different sections of the house, covers everything from tea, pastry, drink, comfort food, gastronomy, music, and art .. from day to night.
- The Glade
- The Parlour
- The Gallery
- The East Bars and Pod
- The Lecture & Library
I was able to visit all the rooms to photograph except for The Lecture Room & Library, a three-star Michelin 2020 restaurant.
Each room has a unique theme, and ever-changing decor by emerging artists and designers.
Every corner of sketch is instagrammable, including the futuristic-looking egg pod bathrooms.
Truly an Alice-in-wonderland experience and no wonder a bucket list item for travel girls who are on the look for stylish restaurants.
It was the highlight of my short stay in London, and glad I found it last minute.
