This topsy turvy cocktail bar oozes old-world charm and encourages a little chaos. It's over the top and even a bit twee but in the very best way possible.
Set within a Georgian Mayfair townhouse, Maison Estelle is designed to be homely - or as homely as one of the most luxurious, and exclusive members's club can be. Dine, drink, and dance in style.
The vast bay window of this gallery at the top of Dover Street stops passers-by in their tracks. Run by German duo Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers, the space also displays arresting art. Exhibitions have included Barbara Kruger’s bold images emblazoned with text such as “Your body is a battleground” and Jenny Holzer’s granite bench and LED installations.
Housed within the infamous childhood home of Elizabeth II, Lilibet’s pays homage to British royalty in the Russell Sage Studio-revamped interiors of 17 Bruton Street. Marquetry tables are adorned with built-in antique panels, sofa seating is upholstered with woven horsehair panels, and Richard Taylor-made lamps fill the space with a golden glow. The food also doesn’t miss; British classics are fused with Mediterranean flavours in experimental seafood-led dishes.
One of the key commercial galleries in London, this imposing townhouse space delivers exhibitions ranging from Josef Albers’ modernist classicism to wittily observed cartoons by Rose Wylie. There’s also an in-house podcast with a series of conversations unpacking the nuances of style and intentionality in art. Everything David Zwirner does is thoughtful and therefore thought-provoking.
