The Lecture Room & Library at sketch

Dinner at Sketch – The Lecture Room & Library was nothing short of exceptional. My husband and I chose this iconic space for a date night and to celebrate my birthday, and it turned out to be a truly memorable gastronomic experience. From the moment we arrived, the festive décor outside set a celebratory tone, beautifully complemented by the intricately designed interiors — every detail thoughtful, artistic, and immersive. The atmosphere strikes a rare balance: refined yet warm, luxurious yet inviting. Each course was prepared with remarkable care, intention, and depth of flavour — imaginative, nuanced, and perfectly balanced. Even the desserts alone (pictured here) were exquisite works of art. The service deserves special mention: warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful, making the entire evening feel effortless and personal. This is a place I would wholeheartedly recommend — perfect for an intimate celebration, a special date night, or a refined experience to be shared with family. It’s one of those rare restaurants that leaves you already looking forward to your next visit.

The service and ambiance make this restaurant unique. It is decorated in an elegant, yet eccentric manner. The entire staff aims to please from beginning to end, without any feeling of being rushed. My spouse and I did the A La Carte lunch menu and shared a mix between sea and land. Everything was delicious and the Milledgeville Brut dessert was unforgettable. We will definitely visit again when in London.

If you’re looking for a unique blend of art, culinary delights, and an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a dream, look no further than Sketch London. From the moment I entered, I was whisked upstairs into a world of creativity and luxury. Let’s talk about the Lecture Room and Library—a truly breathtaking space! The decor is a feast for the eyes, with a delicate balance of elegance and quirkiness that embodies the spirit of Sketch. The soft lighting, plush seating, and artistic flair make it the perfect setting for an evening of indulgence. Now, the real star of the show? The French fusion food! Each dish was a sensation, marrying traditional French flavors with innovative twists that made every bite unforgettable. I savored a beautifully crafted Duck Confit that was perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. Every course was a masterpiece, thoughtfully presented, and bursting with creativity. And let’s not forget the wine pairings! Alex, the sommelier, truly elevated the experience. With his extensive knowledge and passion for wine, he curated an exceptional selection that complemented each dish flawlessly. Every sip brought out new nuances in the food, and Alex was there to guide us through the journey with enthusiasm and warmth. He not only had a deep knowledge on wine but also cared about me keeping a conversation for a long time. His expertise made the evening feel even more special! To wrap up this incredible night, I found myself at the cocktail lounge, and oh, what a treat! I indulged in an amazing clear espresso martini, a delightful twist on a classic. The clarity and smoothness of the drink were nothing short of heavenly. It was the perfect end to a fantastically whimsical evening. In summary, Sketch London is more than just a dining destination; it’s an experience that engages all the senses. From the gorgeous Lecture Room and Library to the delightful French fusion cuisine, exceptional wine pairings courtesy of Alex, and the unforgettable espresso martini, every moment was pure magic. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Treat yourself and immerse yourself in this spectacular journey—you won't regret it!

What a culinary experience! One of the best meals I've ever had. The highlight being the incredible chocolate souffle. Perfect service and extremely friendly staff, hugely recommend!

We love fine dining experiences and this was up there with the best we've had. We had the à la carte menu, which in hindsight was probably a bit more than we wanted but the food was all delicious and beautifully presented and served. I would have preferred more servings, i.e. instead of four dishes of starters, etc, perhaps two at a time and a little more time explaining what each is. Having four dishes arrive and then being told what each is, is a lot to take in at once and we found ourselves referring back to the menu to remind us what it was exactly. I have had a meal of 19 courses served as 1, 2 or 3 at a time and I found that much better for a full appreciation of what's what. I know this would have meant that the meal would have stretched out over another hour but that's fine with me and makes it more special. My only other comment is that I felt the wine glasses were topped up a little earlier than i felt necessary. These are minor tweaks to a wonderful experience.

Our visit to this restaurant was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was exquisite, the interior was cozy and beautifully designed, and the service was truly top-notch. It’s honestly one of the best places I’ve ever been — every single dish matched my taste 100%. I especially loved the concept behind their menu. You can choose from different sets, and each one includes a selection of small dishes that are thoughtfully paired and complement each other perfectly. There is a wide variety of these sets, so everyone can find something they prefer and easily avoid anything they don’t enjoy. Highly recommended — a memorable and exceptional dining experience.

On entering Sketch it was evident that this was a special venue. Beautiful Christmas trees and decorations were in abundance in the foyer and continued around the place. Staff catered for our every need and Daniel Stucki even came to our table to welcome us. We opted for the tasting menu and every course was sublime. Our tastebuds were treated to exceptional cuisine. Sketch is not only a restaurant, it is a fabulous experience and we shall certainly return.

Entering the Lecture Room and Library is an exciting experience from the very first moment. Before coming here, you imagine it's a place with rigid service procedures. Far from it. The staff always work with a smile, interact with guests, and try to anticipate their desires. We felt like we were at a concert where all the elements contribute to creating a fantastic harmony. Thank you all for this wonderful experience. Francesca and Massimo

Amazing meal in an incredibly beautiful room with wonderful music. And the wait staff always kind and professional especially Lionel! Chef's kiss!

Another fabulous meal! In addition to the Michelin 3-Star menu, for New Year's Eve the restaurant hosted a performance by the London Festival Opera. As always, the service was perfect.

Came for the winter festive high tea. Worst tourist trap ever. Inedible but very cute pastries. Great service and ambiance but if you come hungry, you'll leave hungry Appalled at how overcooked/burned one of my sandwiches were and they still served it

Another of the most anticipated activities on my London itinerary. Sketch consists of multiple concepts all within the same building and is most known for their three michelin star restaurant in the Lecture Hall and Gallery. Came to their Gallery for afternoon tea, a must while in London. Costs £79, or about $106. Walk in to sketch and you'll check in before being escorted to the space you have reserved. The Gallery is this grand, yellow/orange room that feels elegant yet whimsical at the same time. Upon finding your seat, you'll be presented with a menu of about 15 teas that are all carefully curated and prepared. You can have as many different teas and as much as you like. The menu also includes a list of the sandwiches and sweets you'll have as part of your experiences. 5 unique sandwiches roll out next. They're artfully designed and overall very tasty. Some I liked and some I really enjoyed. Sweets are next and consist of another 5 bites. They leaned fruit forward and my favorite was the yellow lemon square. The second tier of platform they are presented on consists of scones, jam, and clotted cream. Traditionally, jam goes on first. These actually might be the best scones I've had. Exterior has a bite of a bite but the interior was quite soft, which I really liked. Service was attentive. Didn't need to flag a waiter for anything. Ambiance is quite enjoyable and live music also takes place. The strings trio was very talented. If you can, peak into a couple of the other rooms are you enter or exit the facility. The bathrooms are also a must and consist of these individual, futuristic giant egg-like stalls.

Afternoon tea is an absolute must when you're visiting London! Sketch is definitely an experience... playful, artistic, and unlike any traditional afternoon tea in London. The moment you walk in, you feel like you've stepped into an art gallery where every detail is curated, from the whimsical decor to the beautifully presented food. I'm not sure if this was an every time thing, but there was an amazing string quartet that was also playing while we were there. The afternoon tea itself was truly lovely. The pastries were creative and delicious, and the sandwiches were fresh with interesting flavor combinations that felt modern without trying too hard. You can also request for refills if there was something in particular that you liked. The tea selection was solid, thoughtful, and well-curated, with enough variety as well as classics to suit different tastes without feeling overwhelming. Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance makes everything feel a little bit more magical. The bathroom alone deserve its own star - it was gorgeous, almost futuristic, and just as photo-worthy as the tea room itself. I'd highly recommend checking out Sketch if you want an afternoon tea that's fun, visually stunning, and not overly traditional.

sketch was a really cool experience overall. The service was amazing, and the whole place is super theatrical. Every room has its own vibe, and the bathroom is iconic. I mostly went for the atmosphere, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's a very unique dining experience that isn't like any other offered in London. We went during the holiday season - The Art of Après - so the restaurant was extravagantly decked out with Christmas trees, snow-dusted decor, and over-the-top festive touches. I did afternoon tea in the Gallery, and you can get unlimited tea refills, which I liked. The food itself was just okay, especially for how expensive it is (£115 per person), but the whole experience feels very London and worth trying at least once if you want something a little different.

Sketch was a great dining experience from start to finish. This was a highly recommended restaurant from my friend, and we were very excited to go. The rooms and decor are so beautiful, and the food was delicious! They have a really good kids meal, my kids inhaled the salmon fillet and truffle mashed potatoes. The steak and salad were all amazing here as well. The service was fast and friendly, and their prices are not bad for a fine dining experience in the UK. The bathroom here is pretty cute so check it out if you get a chance!

My friend and I went into the garden themed cocktail lounge inside of sketch. We ordered the espresso martinis which were incredible. Made with distilled coffee, hence no color. The ambiance was great and so was the service but we were taken aback when we got the bill. On our bill was an "optional donation" charge for about $3-$4. Totally fine, however, we were never given the option if we wanted to donate or not. We gladly would have but why is it "optional" if we weren't even given the option? Our drinks were amazing though and worth the $$.the bathroom was unique too which was a fun experience.

Upscale dining in a very trendy, eclectic, and modern setting. The staff and food are worthy of the price of admission. Heck, going to the bathroom here is worth the price of admission! One must definitely have this on their "must do" list when visiting London. Their menu varies quite a bit so plan accordingly.

An interesting dining experience to say the least. Service was very good. Food was average. All their rooms are unique and what I'd say are a bit on the funky side with the infamous instagram bathroom. I want to say I'm a bit too old for this style of restaurant however good food is meant for all ages and that's where I feel it dropped off. If you want fun photos in a unique setting this is for you but if you're looking for a great meal I would skip this experience.

Went for holiday tea with girlfriends and we had a grand time. They had live music and a ballerina perform. Such a cute thing to do for visitors. Highly recommend!

I came for the forest bar and it was such a cool experience. I loved the ambiance and they had a variety of mocktails for my friend. I got the best drink! Most drinks are about $30 and up so I ordered one and sipped slowly lol. They give olives and some small crackers complimentary.

We loved the delicious cocktails, unique pastas, and the beautiful decor. The waitress was welcoming and knowledgable about both London and the menu. When we got to see the bathrooms, we were blown away.

Had the most amazing night here two weeks ago. Just go! The space itself is beautiful! We sat on the gallery room. Everything was exceptional. Food was delish! Service was top notch. Bathroom is fun ! Great way to start my trip in London.

Date night for the dinner and the live music. We both had the pre-fix menu with some slightly different choices. Every course fantastic - from the presentation to the palette. Service was friendly, helpful, and super efficient. The jazz band they had really added to the atmosphere. We loved the experience all around.

This review is for high tea in the gallery. OUTSTANDING. From the service, ambiance, food and drink, everything was wonderful. Come here if you want an afternoon tea experience you will never forget!

What a cool experience! We dined at Sketch in The Gallery room on a Saturday night in May. You're greeted by a doorman, then a receptionist in the lobby-type area, then a receptionist in the restaurant, and then we had a food waitress to take orders, drink waitress to take orders, two busboys to deliver the food, and finally a manager process our bill. They're all dressed impeccably and quite friendly. I had the Sea Bass with Baby Artichokes and Prosecco Veil. It was light yet filling but could've used a bit more flavor. My friend ordered the Black Garlic Arancini and loved it. I ordered a martini and it was a bit small! See picture of it compared to my friend's red wine. I guess I expected a martini glass! We made our 6:30pm Saturday night reservation about a month in advance on Open Table so plan accordingly! I took off 1 star because the food is a bit overpriced.

Lived out my modern Bridgerton dream with some afternoon tea. Unfortunately, there was no Simon to make it burrrrn for me This place was so cool. Got to listen to live violinists, while sipping my tea and eating yummy sandwiches, scones and desserts. Even the restroom was cool. ⁣ ⁣ If you're ever in London, and want a modern version of afternoon tea, I would recommend this spot. So yummy and fulfilling. Just make sure to reserve in advance. It gets quite busy. ⁣

During my one-day layover in London, I knew I had to get a reservation at Sketch--and it did not disappoint! I only wish I had known beforehand that the high tea was unlimited, so I could have paced myself and eaten more. The finger sandwiches and cakes were absolutely delicious, and I loved all the different tea options. Our server was fantastic--super helpful in explaining the menu and giving great recommendations. And, of course, the ambiance was amazing. The seating was comfortable, the aesthetic was adorable, and you have to check out the iconic egg bathrooms. I've never left a high tea feeling this full before! It might be a bit pricey, but considering it's unlimited, I'd say it's well worth it.

A long-awaited review for the coveted restaurant Sketch by a Michelin-starred chef! I tried this restaurant back in July in London, and was absolutely blown away. My friend & I made a reservation for two on a Sunday night in the Gallery Room. The entrance is un-assuming from the outside, just a plain white building with a small sign. But the moment you open the doors, you're greeted with extravagance and luxury ambiance. It is eclectic and fun, everything you would be looking for in a special dining experience. We were greeted by the hostess, who offered to check our coats in. Then they led us down a corridor, into the beautiful Gallery Room. Hospitality was amazing, we were always checked up on, and our food service was decently quick. To start, I ordered their signature drink, the Sketch Spritz. It was delightfully fruity, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. My friend & I split the Scallop Carpaccio for a starter, and these were the best scallops I've ever had. Whenever someone asks me what the best thing I've ever ate was, I immediately default to these scallops. They melt in your mouth, and are so fresh! The radishes guacamole provided differing textures, creamy but decadent at the same time. For our entrees, I opted to try the Sketch Beef Tartare, which came with its own little bloody mary! Topped with smoked eel and caesar sauce, it went so well with the refreshing icy bloody mary. My friend ordered the Triple-Baked Haddock and Scallop Souffle, and this was SO GOOD! Perfectly fluffy and buttery, and whatever sauce they use at the bottom was addicting. Chives add a burst of freshness, overall a solid choice. Obviously we couldn't skip dessert, and we each got one. I don't remember the name of mine, as they rotate their menu pretty often. But no doubt it was delicious. My friend went for their Sketch Chocolate 052, and both came presented beautifully. Now the coolest part of this experience was that they let you explore the other rooms after your meal. I had heard strange things about their toilets, so I ventured to the back of the room through double doors to check it out. Weird to say, but this is the COOLEST toilet ever! The toilets are little individual pods, It looks so futuristic, a great photo op. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a special, once-in-a-lifetime occasion! The price certainly reflects the quality, service, & experience, but well worth it.

Food was delicious but the service was really bad. Beyond bad. Had to wait 30 minutes for the check, 30 minutes to take our order for drinks. Had the 9th Street and Avocado toast. If you're in a rush, avoid the place. If you can commit 2-2.5 hours then good luck.

"The young man that sat us was amazing! He overheard my son and I talking about where our trip was taking us and took the time to make a list of places we could visit and treats that we might enjoy. Everyone was so lovely and spent time making our experience as wonderful as it possibly could have been! This was my son's second trip to your establishment, and he could not wait to take me, and I can't wait to come back!"

Super fun Eclectic artsy cafe bar that's been on my must visit list whenever I'm in London. Don't miss the iconic Mr. Doodle bathroom pods upstairs. Amazing for lunch, tea, drinks or dinner. Absolutely adore this place!

Came here for breakfast while visiting London and very much enjoyed the food and ambiance. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and overall we had a good experience. My only complaint was how small the table was, making it different to navigate our food and drinks. The waffle, eggs, green justice and croissant were all delicious.

Food was glorious and service was even better. Super special ambiance - perfect for celebrating a special occasion!

Second time to this trendy and beautiful restaurant in London. Food never disappoints. Everything was delicious and on point. My daughter had the burger and I had the steak. The pièce de résistance has to be the cocktails! I ordered a chocolate martini and it was absolutely perfect. I will be coming back the next time I'm in London and recommend everyone checking Sketch out. Pro tip- don't forget to check out the bathroom!! Definitely worth the trip.

The vegan menu here is top tier- nothing seemed to be downgraded from the omnivore options. All of the food was refillable but they served so many options that it wasn't needed for you to enjoy a full meals worth. I had two types of tea and the cost was well justified. Servers were attentive and very knowledgeable regarding all of the tea and food options. Live orchestral music was being played by girls in matching dresses and the bathroom had can't miss decor. I really hope coming back for afternoon tea is in the cards for me. 5/5

High tea here is an absolute dream. The decor, the ambiance, the food, and the drinks are perfect. Sketch has become a must-do in London for a special occasion, even if the occasion is just visiting!

This is a great spot for decor and aesthetics, but the food can be hit or miss. I've been to Sketch for afternoon tea and had a great experience (I was totally stuffed at the end due to all the food). Most recently, I went for breakfast in the Glade, and it was so so. Nothing really stood out to be honest between the hash browns, English breakfast, green juice and acai bowl (which tasted like a regular yogurt bowl with toppings). The staff working there was quite friendly (we were the first ones there since we had a 9am reservation). If you're going for vibes and visuals, I would just do the main room for afternoon tea and skip the Glade. Also, you won't be able to use the famous egg bathroom if you dine in the Glade (you'd use another bathroom). All in all, 5 stars for ambience and decor associated with afternoon tea, but minus one star for breakfast in the Glade.

I would consider this overpriced and under-delivered. If you're into taking photos of your food and posting for others to see, maybe it's worth the expense. I was looking forward to the funky art and atmosphere - sort of a cool spin on a traditional experience. The entry way and bathrooms are unique and artsy, but the dining room is a bit plain relative to the rest of the space. The hosts were very attentive, proper, and set high expectations for the rest of the tea. But, then the service started to unwind a bit. Teas were mixed up and servers really bumbled a bit - forgetting who ordered what type and various items. The cocktails were a bit sweet and underwhelming, and the sandwiches and sweets were bland and a bit stale. Once on the table, the presentation is attractive, but in terms of service, flavors, and overall experience, it was a bit of a letdown.

This is the most exquisite experience in the service is so warm and welcoming . We had a waitress her name was Amy and all the waitresses were the same outfits in uniform and they look so cute. She was our waitress. Amy was very kind and welcoming, and we were telling her we were visiting London for the first time she had any recommendations and she encouraged us to go maybe check out some of the seaside areas. also, on top of that they have live music where they're playing pop hits, and also some Disney tunes which I was very fond of. The food itself is a variety of foods with sandwiches and then scones and then also some desserts at the end and you're allowed to request as much as you want so I ended up having a few of the ham and cheese sandwiches and we ordered about three different teas throughout our two hour stay there. My cousin and I were on a spring break vacation in the middle of April. It was our first trip to London so of course we wanted to book something where we did an afternoon tea.

The fancy Sketch restaurant was even more beautiful in person. The bathrooms are their most popular spot, so definitely don't miss that. It looks even better than some art museums. We had to come here after seeing so many instagram posts over the years! This was the first afternoon tea that I've ever heard of being all you can eat, and you can get boxes at the end to bring stuff home. So that got me really excited... however, your second order will take FOREVER to come out. Sometimes they won't even remember that you wanted more of a certain item. And even after constantly reminding them, they still don't bring it out. So was it worth £80? Probably not. Also don't get bamboozled by the £1 at the end, they automatically add it to your bill but you can ask the server to remove it.

If aesthetics was everything, Sketch would win this prize. Unfortunately, a lot of the dishes at sketch miss the mark. The raw scallops weren't really that fresh, and it had a weird cream sauce that overpowered the scallops. The fish was decent, but it was doused in melted butter so hard to miss. All in all, a place for instagram photos, but that's really what they excel out with their exotic bathroom and dining room designs.

The food is amazing! The service is great and we chose the Glade room, so it was seemingly calming and not noisy. Great space for a nice meal.

Wow sketch is worth the hype! The holiday afternoon tea experience was very worth it. Everything was stunning. The presentation and service was great. They don't rush you at all. We tried at least 5-6 different teas. All the food was also very high quality and tasty. These are not plain old cucumber sandwiches. We had lobster rolls, smoked salmon sandwich, egg salad sandwich. Even cavier and crab salad. So for $150 per person they definitely make the experience very high end. We also had complimentary sparkling wine. They also had live violinists and a ballerina dancing to each room. Don't forget to take a selfie in their famous bathroom. Overall I would recommend this experience.

This spot seems it is more about the ambiance than the service and food. Unique and artistic design and layout that will appeal aesthetically but did not overcome the slow inattentive service. We didn't feel welcomed at all and after drinks and appetizers decided to go elsewhere for dinner.

When you enter through the dim hallway going deep inside this building, you feel like Alice passing through the looking glass and following the rabbit down the hole. The two separate dining rooms have different motifs, one with an under the sea Little Mermaid vibe and the other, a brightly painted whimsical Wonderland. You would think this place popped out of Lewis Carroll's head. The atmosphere is surreal and you feel like you're joining the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse for high tea. And there is a three piece string ensemble in the corner playing popular tunes on violin, viola & cello. The ladies did very good instrumental renditions of Coldplay's Viva La Vida and Justin Bieber's Sorry. We are here for high tea with friends and the tea selection is excellent. Since we could order as much and as many different teas as we wanted, I started with the black teas, first a pot of Earl Grey and then Darjeeling. All tea pots are individual and serves about 2 cups. Then I moved onto the Phoenix Honey Orchid, which was very mild and my favorite. Of course, I had to have it with honey, which came in a little carafe. My last pot was the Organic Dragon Well green tea. The tea sandwich and cake tiered tray is the main event. Each of the sandwiches, the Coronation Chicken, Cucumber, Salmon & Ricotta and Croque Monsieur are cut into finger length rectangles. The chicken and ham & cheese of the Croque Monsieur were excellent, but I was surprised I really liked the cucumber as well. Request as many more sandwiches as you like and they will bring more. But don't forget the sweet side of the tiers with multiple cakes. Then things got a little strange. Having consumed so much tea, I was first to seek the rest rooms, which were in an adjacent room. I thought I was transported to Woody Allen's movie Sleeper. Up the stairs into the stark white high ceiling room was a bunch of 6' tall white egg pods which reminded me of Robin Williams, Mork's spaceship from Ork. I had to ask the attendant in a maid's uniform to find me an available "egg". Someone please pinch me. At the bottom of the room was a round lounge area with 70's motif that the musician's took their breaks between sets. The service was impeccable with exceptional attention to detail, as expected from a high end restaurant. Overall, this was an amazing experience that I would recommend to anybody visiting London. Don't forget to point your pinkie finger as you raise your teacup to your lips.

Such a fun place to do tea! Yes pricey, but it's an experience and it is worth it!! Everyone was so kind and the caviar boy was so fun! The bathroom is a must see-- make sure you bring your phone for the photo shoot. Everything is decorated and beautiful.

Absolute incredible! I came here for breakfast! Reservations required *! I sat in the glade room which is inspired from a 1900s greeting card. Absolute I'll beautiful! Breakfast was reasonably priced! Don't miss the bathroom absolutely one of the most beautiful bathrooms I've ever been in! A super aesthetic restaurant! Must see!

Besides the dramatic atmosphere the people we met made us feel special The humor, the explanations the charming attention the special gifts made it extrodinary

Save yourself $368USD for two afternoons tea experiences. Beautiful place but I would just go get a cocktail. The value of what we got compared to what we paid was not even close to comparable. We got 2 pots of tea, small sandwiches and desserts that were honestly just decent. The flavors were mostly all lemon, were overly sweet and just lacked variety.

Overall our dining experience was amazing, the staff was attentive, kind, and gave us great recommendations. A mistake on our part was over ordering appetizers - we should have stuck to just one (the artichoke) as our meals and the sides we ordered were extremely filling. Don't pass up the truffle gnocchi, it was delicious!

So first things first, I personally did not like the food. I had a portobello lettuce wrap burger wasn't good at all. But my friends like their food... the drink we had I don't remember what it's called. It was really good. But the place is self is gorgeous is such a place to go to for experiences and to get those photos! I think my favorite thing about this place was the bathroom it was super cool pods that I never seen before. We went and ate at the gallery. It's one of the four places inside of sketch. The server was nice. I wish it was more vegan options. They did have jollof on their menu. I was going to get it but I truly only wanna jollof food from actual African restaurant I would go back here, but probably to a different part so like a bar that's in there and not to get food

Sketch you were lovely and worth all the hype I saw online. Came to London and everyone recommended getting a resy at sketch! Online it was fully booked, but we walked in and asked (during the busiest time of year) and they had availability. They keep spots open for walk ins, we were able to come in for high tea the next day! It was lovely, food was delish and drinks were beautiful. Highly recommend.

I love love love love the decor. The table of 12 self absorbed Americans were annoying AF of course but the service was what I found The Most Intriguing. Baddie in the beige suit was brilliant. The little lady in the pod rest room was curious and a bit sad. Hated the food but I didn't go for it so no harm no foul.

Erm... I'll give them this: Sketch is beautifully decked out and makes for good photos. However, the ambience isn't quite as magical in person, and food is just absolutely not it. Granted, we came for a light lunch so didn't try a ton, but both the chicken and the club sandwich were mediocre at best. Chicken was bland, sandwich was almost stale. It's cool getting to explore different rooms in the restaurant, and of course the bathrooms are iconic. Again, the place makes for better photos than actual experience. If you're there in person, decor is still cool but you can tell a lot of the stuff it's past its prime--bit older now. Overall a place worth checking out once, but wouldn't go back.

Sketch has multiple separate rooms and culinary experiences offered so this review is specifically for the Lecture room and Library. You will need to have a reservation and a deposit is required. They ask about all dietary restrictions and are so accommodating. I am a pescatarian so they were able to adjust a few menu items for me. Once you walk in you are greeted immediately and taken up the stairs. The whole restaurant is artistically and visual stunning. There's so much going on and it is an experience from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. I know everyone knows the famous pod egg shaped restrooms but they actually have the most gorgeous Swarovski restrooms specifically for those that dine in the Lecture room. The service is excellent as the staff anticipate your every want and need. The food is experimental but still accessible. We enjoyed every single item that was presented in front of us especially the beautiful brioche buns with an assortment of butters. I could literally go on and on but this was truly the best meal of our trip. Highly recommend! From the minute you walk I

Review of high tea. I enjoyed the experience, but I don't think this can be the best high tea place in London. This is definitely one of the top places to go for tea in London, because separately another friend who was visiting London a couple weeks after me chose this place for tea. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the experience, however, as someone who doesn't love sweets, I think I would enjoy another tea place at this price point. Basic tea is 80 pounds and then you can add extra things. We started with a Cherry & Lychee Martini and Beesou Spritz. Both were delicious, but I was jealous of my sister's martini. I didn't get it, because I don't like gin, but the gin was very subtle. I'd highly recommend it. I really enjoyed everything savory, like the sandwiches and the scones. I wasn't entirely impressed with all the sweets and left them half uneaten on my plate. They were a little too sweet for me. It is a lot of food though and we saw a lot of people taking the final cake to go. The string trio was a really nice touch and I like how the tea pots only carry like 2-3 cups of tea in each so you can try a couple flavors. The most surprising part of this place is the bathrooms. My sister hyped it up, but didn't share exactly why they're iconic. I kept watching groups of people walk to the bathroom the whole time wondering what was in there. I just have to say, it lived up to expectations. I also find it hilarious that people take sultry pictures in there. Those bathrooms might be the main draw to eat here. We got here 30 minutes early and they were nice enough to seat us. I wouldn't be mad if someone suggested coming here, but with all the high tea places in London I believe I'd like another one better.

We went for afternoon tea and it was a fantastic experience. It's definitely a more unique type of afternoon tea vs. the more traditional tea you can find at other spots in London, but we adored our experience here. Sketch is divided into several rooms for different meals and the afternoon tea is held in a beautiful parlor with pink velvet seats everywhere. There was a string quartet that played while we had our tea and they were very good! I felt that they gave us a ton of food and sweets for tea, including as much tea as we wanted. The desserts were my favorite but also loved the croque madame and coronation chicken sandwiches, so we got seconds. Service was helpful. This place is so photogenic so realllt just enjoyed the ambiance and finally making it to the place I've seen on Instagram everywhere :)
