The Wolseley
Combining British heritage with European grandeur, The Wolseley
is one of London's most iconic all-day café-restaurants. The Grade
II listed building maintains many aspects of its original design
and the restaurant today is renowned in part for its spectacular
interior. Very much in the European grand café tradition, the menus
encompass breakfast through to late evening snacks, with an
emphasis on immaculate presentation and seamless service.

Soutine
Similar in many ways to Colbert, Soutine is an informal
neighbourhood rendezvous taking inspiration from the great
boulevard cafés of Paris. Located in an impressive period building,
the front room and pavement offer relaxed café and bar seating,
leading to a slightly more formal space at the rear. The restaurant
design is heavily influenced by the area's strong artistic heritage
and to celebrate this history, the space evokes the Arts and Crafts
Movement whilst taking visual cues from its Edwardian
architecture.
