MeritOctober 2, 2014Love their decor in the gallery - very pink and super cute! + Great cocktails...and of course make sure you check out their toilets!
Sidar SahinNovember 23, 2016This place is amazing. The interior design is providing a nice and unique atmosphere. The waiters are very competent, kind and want their customers to have a great experience!
Ivan SiriSeptember 5, 2019Excellent service. Excellent choices of wines. Sara has been great in explaining wines and what best fit with our plates. Flavours are balanced precisely. The place is really cool.
Julie LMay 5, 2015The perfect afternoon tea experience! For a little treat add a glass of champagne! Everything is good, the gallery room is breathtaking and the staff is very thoughtful
Kim VuOctober 20, 2016Funkiest venue for afternoon tea in London. A trip to the bathroom is a must, you'll understand why when you see it for yourself!
Fabio SonodaMay 18, 2015Crazy toilettes! Nonetheless you go for the food! A little bit pricey but that's the cost to bring a famous French chef to London!
Alexandra AratoSeptember 19, 2014Sketch is not about good food only. It's about the experience it gives you, and the incredible plates, the exceptional staff and all the other details together make this place worth every penny.
Tobias OtteJanuary 4, 2015Went to 'The Gallery' for New Years Eve. Food was great but probably not worth the price we paid. Amazing cocktails and atmosphere, though. Use the bathroom. Even if you don't have to. Trust me.
MENU PortugalJune 5, 2013Great design, food, atmosphere & diversity. Impressive, Sketch been here for ages, still good! From gastronomic delights of 2 restaurants to cafe, bar & its late night life - all good & different
👾September 14, 2016I love everything about this place ! They have a wide variety of desserts .. a perfect spot for coffee, afternoon tea and breakfast ❤️
Joanie FergusonApril 3, 2013Sketch is a must-see. The atmosphere is club-y and hip with an artistic side. Features contemporary artists in their decorations and has incredible DJs. Can be a nighttime hang spot or a lunch stop.
MinistryofWaxingApril 11, 2013Whether you enjoy a leisurely lunch in the Gallery restaurant or take afternoon tea in the Lecture Room, you will be sure to have a fine dining experience at London's twice Michelin-starred Sketch.
Brad TAugust 1, 2015It's 4 bars, all with different themes, including a tiki bar (my personal fav) and an igloo shaped drinking hole. All with creative cocktail concoctions. Why would you ever leave??
BiancaFebruary 21, 2017Interesting place for an apperitivo or even the 5 o'clock tea. The venue concept is fascinating and it is worth a visit anyhow.
Dimi TheoDecember 15, 2015If I had to visit only one place in London probably sketch would be this place!unique decoration,amazing menu,kind personnel.check out the toilets!
prima filiOctober 27, 2015Super fancy and full of cool things and details to look at. Afternoon tea a bit pricey but the flavours are really interesting. It's kids friendly but probably they won't appreciate it.
Ministry of WaxingApril 11, 2013Whether you enjoy a luxurious lunch in the gallery restaurant or afternoon tea in the Lecture Room, you are sure to have a fabulous dining experience at the two Michelin-starred Sketch.
Tiffany HuangMarch 28, 2017Except for the ambience and the stunning deco, what impressed me the most is that they serve steamed vegetable!! Taste delicious.
Prema LucasApril 17, 2013Get the squid ink croque Monsieur - heavenly & do eat in the Glade. The loos are mad! Everything is wonderfully designed, check out quirky details tucked away here & there. Great staff btw.
Priya TungrusDecember 12, 2016The lecture room is fantastic - great food and absolutely amazing service. I love the mini table for your bag.
Benni PrinzJanuary 7, 2016The bar and casual restaurant are cool and fun. I didn't care for the Michelin star place though, not because of the food (which was very good, as would be expected) but I felt the atmosphere haughty
Danyah IsmailMay 1, 2015The time I spent there felt as if I was taken to a different world. From the theme of the rooms, the bathroom, service and food. Absolutely a must visit!
Tavo BeltranMarch 24, 2015World class cuisine, top notch ambiance & outstanding attention by the staff! The cocktail room is a 'must' for the aperitif. Totally worth to visit!!
Mary Ann CaramJanuary 7, 2015If you're going for afternoon tea, treat yourself to some champagne as well. Also, the bathroom pods will NOT blast you into outer space upon flushing. The more you know...
Shah Abdul-WahidOctober 9, 20122 Michelin stars and counting. The Lunch Rapide is easily only of the best value set lunches in London. At £35 for 2 courses, expect excellent service and outstanding molecular food.
Remi LefevreJanuary 29, 2013The Foie Gras burger in the brasserie downstairs is to die for, while the Lecture Room upstairs features amazing themed-weeks that every foodie ought to live - and love.
Hannah ParvazSeptember 2, 2017The sweetcorn here has had me dreaming for months. Flavourful yet simple dishes in beautiful surroundings. 10/10.
OuicestmoiDecember 5, 2014My favorite posh place in London. High tea is pricey but worth every penny! Ambiance and decor are fab!!
- Steve MJuly 17, 2012My pick for afternoon tea in London. At Sketch it's more than a tradition. More than an experience, even. It's a true adventure. Don't leave without going to the bathroom, it may be the coolest part.
- LtheFoodieDecember 28, 2017My favorite things - Tasters menu at the Library. Great wine pairing menu. Loved the seafood dishes the most . And impeccable service .
Sera KoçMarch 26, 2015quality place to have a dinner! service is excellent and of course no need to say for atmosphere:)
Liis SaarJuly 12, 2015Quirky and controvertial surrounding for a relatively classical afternoon tea. Definitely a memorable experience :)
Noons ADecember 5, 2013Lovely afternoon tea loved the egg and cucumber sandwiches the most, u can refill the tea. As for desert try their eclair (with hazelnuts) it's DELICIOUS.
Nancy CadetMay 11, 2017Cutest restaurant in London! Everything is delicious- check out that bathroom --- fillet of brill
Love the playful food in the Gallery, and as everyone says, the toilets are quite an experience
MadaFebruary 12, 2023Every dish and every details were well thought of and nothing disappointed me.My waiters were very nice and helped me understand the food very well though.
Saud AlwaselAugust 22, 2021A must afternoon spot in London. Their interior is one of a kind. Service is not matching their standards as matters of quality
Jay AlsonMay 4, 2014Amazing place (including main rooms, art work, food and alien pod like bathrooms). Highly recommend.
VickyMarch 15, 2020Going for afternoon tea is a little more affordable but you still get to check out the cool space! Would recommend!
YS LovesJanuary 5, 2015The parlour is great to meet friends, sipping tea, light lunch or cake and chat all afternoon.
Miranda CheungNovember 21, 2013Their afternoon tea is awesome! Do visit their bathroom but avoid too late or else it will be closed as the doorway will be blocked for the dinner preparation.
Scot ImrieJuly 25, 2021Exceptional service in fantastic surrounds. We had breakfast in Glade and weren’t disappointed. (And, yes, you must pay a visit to the toilets!!)
hello_emilyNovember 8, 2015Wow! Really cool special occasion high tea. Not cheap but really fancy. Loved it
Avril JiaoAugust 9, 2014They have their phone number printed on the napkin! So cute and such a good idea to catch attentions
Had lunch several times at the bar. Menu does not change often. The best you can choose: foie gras as starter and chicken cocotte as main. That's all! Service quite slow... Nice but nothing amazing.- Noons ADecember 5, 2013They have several dining rooms, very artful decorated place u can see it everywhere. U MUST SEE their BATHROOMS !
ZuzDecember 30, 2016Love the look of the Gallery. All pink and loads of David Shrigley's artworks. Have a read about it!
Staci StevensOctober 28, 2017First time to London and the service has been warm outstanding everywhere. I was surprised by the lack of it at Sketch. We booked a reservation and they were cold and dismissive to us the entire meal
Arix BiDecember 3, 2016I suggest the Glade room because it's very particular but attention you can't see the special "eggs" bathroom before 12pm

"The champagne pour was delightful to watch. The tea and scones were delicious."
Ethan B 
"Certainly an afternoon tea re-imagined, as stated on the menu. An Egg Gougers, a Truffle Croque Monsieur, a lemon marshmallow, plus cakes come before scones. A far cry from the English tradition."
