The story
At 9 Conduit Street in the heart of Mayfair, Sketch is not a single restaurant but an entire world contained within a Georgian townhouse. Five distinct spaces — the Lecture Room & Library, the Gallery, the Glade, the Parlour, and the East Bar & Pods — each carry their own atmosphere, their own menu, and their own reason to visit. The result is a place that can mean different things on different days: a refined French lunch, a lavish afternoon tea, a late-night cocktail, or a leisurely weekend breakfast.
The flagship dining room is where Sketch's reputation for serious Modern European and French cuisine is most fully expressed. Lunch is offered on Fridays and Saturdays, with dinner running Tuesday through Saturday. This is the room that earned Sketch a place among The World's 50 Best Restaurants — a recognition that speaks to the precision and ambition of the cooking here.
The Gallery is perhaps Sketch's most photographed space, and for good reason. It serves afternoon tea daily, alongside dinner every evening of the week. The room's visual identity is as deliberate as what arrives on the table, making it a destination in its own right rather than simply a backdrop.
The Glade opens early for breakfast and continues through lunch and afternoon tea before shifting into a bar in the evenings. The Parlour runs all-day dining from morning until early evening, with a bar that stays open late into the night. For those who prefer to arrive without a reservation, several spaces — including the Parlour and Glade bars — operate on a walk-in basis.
Private dining is available across the venue, making Sketch equally suited to intimate celebrations and larger events. Whether you come for the French tasting menu or a cocktail in the East Bar, the address on Conduit Street delivers something genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere in London.
