avatar
@crazycatladyldn
Famed for its bright decor, this bubble-gum pink gallery room makes for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. In addition to offering afternoon tea and dinner, the quirky prints on the wall are for sale if you fancy picking up some art whilst you dine.

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon, Sunset, Night
All months of the year are suitable to photograph the Gallery at Sketch London.
It’s best to visit in the morning just as the Gallery is opening if you want to get a picture without people in your frame. It gets busy very quickly, so make sure to book a table ahead of time!

Field tips

The Gallery has no natural lighting, so bring a camera light if needed to photograph food.
I used an iPhone here, but if you use a camera, make sure to bring along a wide-angle lens so you can frame the entire Gallery into your frame.
Although this view allows you to photograph the majority of the restaurant, I also suggest experimenting with other perspectives. Get closer to the artwork or take a photo of the plush seating.

Do nearby

While you're in sketch, I recommend visiting the ‘egg’ toilets. The white, egg-shaped stalls are under technicolor lights in this unique restroom.
Before having tea in the Gallery, eat a lovely breakfast in the Parlour room.
The Mayfair area of London is known for its high-end and trendy shopping. I recommend visiting Oxford Street which is only a 5-minute walk away from Sketch. Liberty London and Carnaby Street are also very close and worth a visit!
