sketch - Afternoon Tea in the Gallery

Mayfair, London

Overview

Opened in 2002 as a collaboration between the culinary legend Pierre Gagnaire and restaurateur Mourad Mazouz, sketch has firmly established itself as not only one of London's finest restaurants but moreover, a destination for food, drink, music and art. From the street, the unsuspecting Victorian London townhouse (formerly the head office for Dior) masks the secret interior where every single inch has been transformed into a decadent wonderland of opulence.

Renowned British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA and project architect India Mahdavi transformed the Gallery Restaurant in 2022 with a fresh installation of artwork and interiors. The work is framed in a sunshine-yellow setting, marking a culture-defining chapter for the venue. Shonibare created a 14-piece site-specific work titled Modern Magic, transforming sketch into a powerful celebration of African culture and its legacy.

Membership benefits are also available in The Lecture Room & Library restaurant and Sketch - Gallery restaurant.
