About Sketch
Sketch fills an 18th-century townhouse on Conduit Street with a series of very different rooms: the Lecture Room & Library upstairs, which holds three stars in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026, The Gallery, known for its afternoon tea and contemporary art, bars, and the famous egg-shaped washrooms. It is as much an experience as a meal; book ahead, especially for afternoon tea.
