The exterior has a multi-coloured mural that is 450 square metres. At that size it’s impossible to not spot.
The mural is plastered on two sides of the Georgian building, designed and painted by members of street art collective. The bright blinding colours in geometrical form add an energetic vibe to the area and can be spotted directly opposite St Pancras station. The bursting spray of colour took two full weeks to paint using up a hefty amount of emulsion I’m sure.
After soaking up the exploding colours from the exterior we headed downstairs to the bar. As we shimmered down the stairs there was a sense of mystery entering a contrasting atmosphere shielded behind deep red velvet curtains.
We were treated to glasses of champagne and I had a nose through the interior.
The intimate space had a noir-style cocktail bar and reflected a charming film club with lavish heavy velvet curtains draped across sections.
To add to the ‘darkroom’ the walls were filled with photographs hanging out to dry as if they had just been developed.
The tall velvet banquette seats were accompanied with wingback chairs, leather Chesterfield sofas and flip down cinema style seats.
We sipped on our bubbles, before testing out some of the cocktail menu that was fuelled with seriously strong but reasonably priced offerings.
Relaxing in the sumptuous space we planned our night ahead.
We zipped over to Simmons Bar for happy hour in their quirky vintage space. The downstairs has mismatched furniture, dated wallpaper, and felt like I’d been thrown back to my grandma’s snug house.
After testing the majority of the cocktail menu ,we trotted to Drink Shop and Do to shake our thangs’ all night long.
