A great pre-awards drinks venue. Concierge outside for hailing taxis or being there with an umbrella when it's raining! Top class service. Fab cocktails too!

The bar is chilled out & nice for a quick cocktail before a night out. The decor can't be faulted either.

Tradtional old fashioned bar , proposing a nice club sandwich - ideal for business meetings or a shopping break.
