Sketch

Sketch at 9 Conduit Street in Mayfair W1 is one of London's most extraordinary dining destinations: a 1779 townhouse that once housed Christian Dior's first London studio, now divided into multiple restaurants and bars. The Lecture Room and Library holds three Michelin stars (one of the very few three-star restaurants in London) under chef Pierre Gagnaire. The Gallery is the all-day brasserie and tea room, famed for its pink interior and multicoloured egg-shaped toilet pods that became one of Instagram's most reproduced restaurant images. The Glade is an enchanting forest dining room. Sketch opened in 2002, created by Mourad Mazouz and Pierre Gagnaire with interior design by India Mahdavi. Hardens notes "arguably the most eclectic dining destination in London." The afternoon tea in The Gallery is one of the city's most sought-after bookings.
