Wilson ZhouSeptember 4, 2017GQ recommends: Parlour eggs with bacon or smoked salmon. These are served on a bed of salsa verde.
The Cultural ExposéJuly 11, 2011The gallery restaurant is quirky and fun, and there's some real gems on the menu - like the roast rib-eye with tarragon marshmallow - yep, marshmallow! - and organic salmon.
Bijan YoungJanuary 17, 2015Great fun out. Art mixed with creative food. You won't have a moments silence. Great experience
Lenia KioumiMarch 20, 2016One of my favorite places in London! Great choice for an afternoon tea or a drink!
Vicky PerlepeDecember 22, 2015very nice place, decoration, design and excellent service! BUT expensive for the afternoon tea in the gallery.
Shirley LiuFebruary 15, 2016Definitely book for afternoon tea and make sure you check out the restroom -- super unique design
Amer ChebaroAugust 16, 2014Food is to die for. Textures, tastes, smells are wonderful. Very nice staff and great ambiance.
JiSeptember 13, 2014Cool bathrooms, always a fun night. Difficult to blag entry without a reservation for dinner or at the bar
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.
miss_yvonneDecember 7, 2013Great expresso martinis that taste like liquid dessert. The Gallery is a fun place for late night dining. Food is decent but the service was uneven and requires attention.
In my opinion, the parlour room in Sketch is the classiest 'hip' cocktail bar in London.- Harriet BusbyJanuary 3, 2019Totally amazing tea with v.amusing David Shrigley crockery & prints. Beautiful pink plush velvet upholstery & v.cool toilet pods.
Bakor Al-tayarNovember 9, 2018Breakfast! Avocado, salmon + mushroom & Parmesan omelette is delicious.
Gina PagliaMarch 26, 2013Try the veal! It's amazing. Also the "kick the kettle" cocktail. Dont forget to visit the bathroom, it is out of this world.
Tammy GordonJune 4, 2012Adorable/funky spot to enjoy breakfast. I had the eggs (scrambled) with bacon and a latte. When you're done, shopping abounds nearby.
Ricardo De VilhenaApril 13, 2013Come and check the bathroom!!! Amazing!!! I love this restaurant! Everything is beautiful!!
Andy RanaivoarivonyFebruary 1, 2014Very cool place, decoration is stunning and the drinks are very good too, the restrooms are worth checking
Rachel Wang PangNovember 9, 2015Very good decor, had tea there, service was very nice, sandwich and others was ok, good scones thou
Jimena LozanoDecember 14, 2017Its a must in london....awesome design....trendy bar...good restaurants
Henrique XavierJuly 27, 2015Very different setting, reasonable posh but worth checking out. I recommend the whale something drink.
ブルーノJuly 5, 2017Sketch is just a beautifully designed place (perfect for your Instagram), with really average food and cocktails, and a hit and miss service. In two words: overrated and overpriced. Wouldn't come back
Becky JaggerDecember 24, 2013Check out the toilets!! quirky and fun atmosphere restaurant in the gallery, with fantastic choice of food
Ruth CarpenterDecember 25, 2015The food was incredible and the decorations were magical! We had a great time !!
Tess FalconeFebruary 4, 2019Food was delicious, decor is stunning, and I cannot stress enough that you must see the toilets.
Samantha HutchinsonSeptember 3, 2014Swanky cocktail bar without the stiff attitude. The staff are warm and friendly and the drinks are sublime.
Coracora WFebruary 6, 2015Super nice evening at the Gallery food was delicious. Had to wait for our table in bar next door, service there pretty bad
Just walking around and checking the different rooms and toilets is an experience by itself! Very unique!
Asli YJune 1, 2015Cool atmosphere and great cocktails... as you'd expect from the quite high price list! Good for occasions.
Khawla AbdullaMay 20, 2016Loved the decor was unique we went there for afternoon tea... They mixed our order but overall the food was in my opinion average
Steven CoombeJanuary 27, 2015Great food, amazing service.. all the rooms are different and worth a visit.
- Xx XxJanuary 24, 2018Perhaps the most beautiful set of restaurant rooms I've ever had the pleasure of visiting....
Christen DuongJune 3, 2012Have you ever wondered what an alternate Victorian Gothic universe would be like? Well, turns out they serve a pretty afternoon tea (and have bizarre bathroom pods).
Emma RodzikAugust 30, 2014Sketch is really cool! Their high tea is the best thing, and actually really good value for money.
Afternoon tea!!! I looooove their scones!! I will miss that place!
Kristina PhamMay 29, 2015Good afternoon tea, I haven't had the a la carte menu yet so I shall report back when I do

"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."
