I can easily say this is probably a top 5 dining experiences I ever had. It was incredible. It is literally an artistic wonderland, get your polaroid ready to take plenty of photos. Don't forget to take a photoshoot in their futuristic bathroom. The dress attire is pretty polished, dress like you are going to an art exhibit. It is pricey. We did the high tea experience which comes to about 140 dollars USD per person. It is unlimited so you can get seconds and plenty of tea options. I highly recommend saving room for some of their cocktails. The finger sandwiches were by far the best part. Very creative, rich and savory. The sweets were anticlimactic but visually stunning. What blew me away was the level of attention to detail in every course and the ambiance. They remembered that it was our anniversary and bought out a dessert. There also was this beautiful orchestra playing modern music, a beautiful treat. Not sure when I will be back to London but most certainly will return. read more

The food is beautifully cooked and so is the presentation.All the staff are professional and attentive.

Had to squeeze in at least one Michelin star experience while in London, so went to Sketch. The restaurant is stunning, artsy, and creative. Service was absolutely impeccable. As for the food, the courses just kept coming. There were three of us at dinner, which gave us an opportunity to try as much on the menu as we wanted. We opted for the A La Carte menu and tested all three options available - Spring, Insolite, and Scottich Langoustine - for the starters. For our mains, we ordered the Wild Turbot, the Welsh Lamb, and the Huntsham Court Farm Middle-White Pork. It's a 3 Michelin star restaurant, and while it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I wouldn't rate it 3 stars because I thought the food was simply ok. I've had more impressive Michelin experiences in London at Da Terra and Frog by Adam Handling. With all that said, if you're looking for a restaurant with quirky personality, wonderful service, and a background for great Instagram posts, this is the spot for you read more

Sketch certainly provides a fun, artistic ambiance for an afternoon tea. We enjoyed the violinists, and I can understand the hype behind the photographic decor. However, the food and prices at this teahouse are not the best. Quite frankly, you will pay a LOT for some pretty gross food yet cute tea experience. For example, it was $230 total (tip included) for 2 of us to eat here - wild! Even though we spent more than we had anticipated for our afternoon tea experience, we are glad that we went here and shared some laughs as we tried to fit in and eat the food. read more

This is definitely an iconic spot to visit! I came for the colorful, space like bathroom pods. A great photo opportunity for sure. If you just want to order at the bar, no reservation is required. The food was okay, but expensive for what it is. I ordered the chicken dish and it wasn't bad, but nothing spectacular or filling. The chicken came with a gravy and was slightly dry. I did not have a drink, but I heard drinks are good here. read more

Vibes were amazing however you can probably find better high tea sandwiches/scones elsewhere in London. There was a live orchestra performing, which was a nice touch to the meal. Bathroom is worth a visit to see the egg stalls. Huge tourist spot though, and I was one of them tourists. read more

I was in London visiting my then fiance when I had stumbled upon Sketch. The Instagram page looked so aesthetic and vibey, I was excited to have brunch. I made a reservation easily online and we hopped on the tube to head into the city. Finding Sketch was a bit of a challenge, it blends in with the other buildings- I think this adds to the allure. Upon entering, it was dark with neon lighting. Each room had a different vibe- art pieces everywhere. It was a very cool vibe. We were sat in the Tea Room at a corner booth that was very cute. I wish we would have booked the pink room, though! We ordered our breakfast and I don't think there was any delay in the service, our food came out promptly! I ordered the Avocado Toast and maybe because I am American, I was disappointed. The Avocado was a puree and the poached egg was very runny and burst open onto my clothes. I should have gone with my gut instinct which would have been a pancake but my fiance teased me! The coolest room was the loo. There were colored tiles and pods! It was giving Alien vibes for sure. I may go back just for drinks! read more

This review is for the lecture room and library, and our dinner here was hands down the best dining experience of our lives! We were absolutely blown away and amazed for every second of our evening here. The service was the most friendly, fun, knowledgeable and attentive I have ever experienced. The ambiance left us speechless. The evening here was the highlight of our two week trip in Europe, and we had some amazing experiences. The hostess' tour after our dinner of the other rooms really left us feeling like we had the most magical and epic time. I know I haven't mentioned the food yet, it was exceptional and it alone warranted the 5 star review, but we knew going to a 3 Michelin star restaurant would give us perfect cuisine, but the service and impeccable ambiance stunned us and left us feeling like this truly was a highlight from our holiday abroad. Thank you, Sketch for a memory my wife and I will always cherish. read more

This was my first high tea experience as I was visiting from the US. First off, the restaurant itself is gorgeous - great ambiance and the violinists were a nice touch. The champagne was excellent to start and we had a great selection of teas to choose from as well. The food itself was good and we were excited that you could get extras on anything on the tea stand. Where this was lacking was the service. We had to ask one more than one occasion for the actual tea and more of the tea sandwiches. It felt odd when we shelled out a pretty penny to have such poor service. Next time I'm in London, I'll very likely be trying this elsewhere, but it's worth going for a first timer. read more

Sketch - High Tea - French Near Me - London, XGL

** Review for afternoon tea ** They have one of the most beautiful tea rooms I've ever seen! Definitely a must-visit place if you ever visit London. Reservation is required and the afternoon tea is actually available starting from brunch time. The servers were very attentive and professional and they were very well dressed too What I love most about the experience is that you can try unlimited number of tea/coffee/juices and the items on the tray is refillable as well. So definitely come with a big appetite! Lastly, you've got to check out the washroom -- It's like the ultimate Instagram spot! read more

We just left this restaurant and I'm sorry to say that it was an interesting yet disappointing experience. I'm not a pretentious person, but this did feel like a pretentious place. Instagrammable, influencer types love it here, and of course, I can see why. Ambiance: A+ very cool rooms and those toilets are very fun and interesting. Food: Meh. I am left unimpressed. As a matter of fact, I was sick this morning coming off of dinner last night. The Sea bass had no flavor, I did have to use salt and pepper to give it something. The Chantilly lace was just ok. For a $200 dinner for 2, it wasn't really worth the food. The ambiance and drinks, I'd go back. But not for the food. Service was great though. No complaints there. read more

I LOVE IT HERE. We did the afternoon tea on our last day in London. It was a 10/10 experience. We tried all the different sandwiches and pastries, and you are able to order as much tea and seconds of the food you'd like. I really liked the cucumber sandwiches. All of the desserts were delish. I'm not a big tea connoisseur, but all the tea I had was very yummy and paired well. Service was great and quick and the ambiance is so cute! You have to check out the bathroom too lol read more

I booked an anniversary dinner here and was quite looking forward to it. On arrival we were quickly welcomed and shown the way to our reservation area. Several hosts and hostesses wished us a happy anniversary which was very nice. Unfortunately that's where the positives ended. Staff do a good job with greeting but cups and plates lingered far too long and we had to ask for our check. Crumbs were left on our table through 2 courses. It may not seem like much but I feel these are the bare minimums for being deserving of a Michelin star. For food we went with the 3 courses from the origins menu. Two of the three dishes were a miss for me. My appetizer of white asparagus was unremarkable and forgettable. The cod as a main with spinach sauce was cooked well in terms of doneness but was quite bland and the sauce didn't taste like much. The dessert was quite nice-floating island of meringue with a beautiful scoop of ice cream underneath in addition to a basil pool. This was my favorite dish of the dinner. We were given a nice cake for anniversary celebration as well and that was much appreciated. However seeing two tables who were seated after us get their checks prior to us was a disappointment. The bathrooms are an experience, do check them out. Given my experience and expectations of this dinner I can't recommend it and would not come back. read more

I had a wonderful first time afternoon tea experience here! This place is beautiful and full of art everywhere, down to the bathrooms. My suggestion is you book at opening, so that you get a chance to absorb the place before it becomes full of people. The spread was delicious, I think there was only one pastry I did not care for. You may ask for a re-up on sandwiches and you can drink as many teas as you'd like. It is pricey but I think it was well worth the experience. Definitely a must do for first timers in London! read more

Sketch is definitely a must do when you're in London but I feel like it is hyped up more for the ambiance than the food. Not that the food was bad but I had high expectations from the start. Make sure to book a reservation in advance! As it's a popular spot seats fill up fast. The inside is beautiful. With different rooms decorated in different ways it is very instagrammable. The bathrooms are especially cool. The restaurant was completely full the whole time we were there. The service was top notch. The waiters were amazing. Always checking up on us and making sure we were taken care of. I had the beef fillet to eat which was delicious. Also had the Burgundian egg meurette and it was good as well. Our drinks were strong and delicious. I would give it 4 stars because I felt it was a little over priced but soon learned that in London everything is expensive. So go for a cool experience, good photos, strong drinks and a unique meal. read more

Came here for tea at the recommendation of a coworker. I was looking for a place that didn't require my husband to wear a jacket. It was just fancy enough for him to wear a shirt and khakis and for me to wear a dress and tights. I was so surprised at how beautiful it was inside it was like an art gallery. All of the food and drink was delicious. Staff was very attentive. And we also got a string band to play for us during our tea. I left so stuffed! Thank you so much for a great first tea in London experience. read more

From the moment you enter Sketch you are immersed into their quirky ecosystem. Sketch is a delight for all the senses. A vibrant gastro-brasserie and foodie paradise.We must credit our teenaged daughter for discovering Sketch-A truly exceptional experience for all your senses-Go for the adventure of the overall dining experience and enjoy it all. The restaurant sits in the Gallery, which is decorated with fun wall-to-wall pink velvet seats. Service and food vie for the honors at Sketch. To be sure the culinary experience is truly exceptional, but the level of customized attentiveness is outstanding! We had several entrees but the Pork Duck For Gras and the IrishBeef Fillet were outstanding. Lemon Panda Cotta was the wining dessert. Lastly, you will feel like you are in a 70's science fiction skyrocket when you enter the spaceship like egg-pod lavatories complete with maid service and moving images circling the walls showcasing the cutting-edge feel. Enjoy! read more

The ambiance is amazing! I came for their afternoon tea in the gallery. They have live music, great decor, and the egg bathroom. The teas are unlimited so I was able to try 3 different types of tea which is great! However, the actual food was ok with amazing scones. I would definitely come once just to see the inside, but probably won't revisit considering the price (80pp but I heard it used to be better) read more

Breakfast in the parlour! The green garden room was beautiful. Came here right when it opened on a Tuesday in January. The only regret I had was not being able to experience their afternoon tea. I was here only for a day's stopover :( As a result, no pink room or futuristic pod bathroom could be seen. Got the 9 Conduit St Breakfast, the porridge, pear tart, flowering osmanthus, and even donated to a charity back then (only like a pound for Place2Be, not sure what it is now but saw it on my receipt). All pretty good. Everything was about 30 pounds back in 2017. So like a $36 breakfast! I heard there are no more pink chairs though, sadness. But yellow chairs instead? Or has that changed? Well, hopefully the next visit to London, I'd definitely aim to go here again during regular afternoon tea hours! read more

For years I have wanted to come here. We all know the Instagrammable pink decor, pod bathrooms, etc. So, I expected it to be a tourist trap good for some photos and maybe a decent meal if lucky. What I actually experienced was above and beyond all of that. This was my 1st dinner during my London trip last week. Reservations are a must - I made mine weeks prior and loved how I got an immediate response (thank you Emma) to a simple email asking which room would be best for a first timer. Answer: The Gallery. Was not disappointed...every part of the experience from start to finish was one for the books. Let's start with their Sommelier, Henry. The youngest but BEST I have ever encountered. He was so knowledgeable/passionate and steered me PERFECTLY. I had 3 delectable glasses of wine including dessert, each different but complemented my meal perfectly. My server Adam was also excellent. I let him guide my entree and dessert choices and omg. Just perfection. The dover sole was not only beautiful but impeccable. I took on bite and melted...(get it filleted and with potato puree) as I was so surprised how good the food was there. Dessert was also quite the sight (opted for the "Sketch Chocolate"). Time flew (between my courses and making fast friends with the table of gals next to me). At the 2.5 hour mark Adam so politely asked if I wouldn't mind moving to the bar which I would have, but knew it was time to roll myself out! Loved every minute, highly recommended. read more

I'll start by saying that the atmosphere is really cool and the bathroom is really creative. This place might be worth going to once. The food was alright. The staff was so polite and kind except for the man who served my table. He must've been having a pretty bad day. I get it, we all have off days. He rushed me to start my afternoon tea sandwiches before it arrived on the table and before I even got the 1st course... which they forgot. My 1st pot of tea arrived and it was the wrong pot. The timing of the food and the tea was wrong. Food would show up and then tea took forever. For the price of this afternoon tea, I expect the server to be on top of it. read more

What a unique dining experience at Sketch. It feels like you're walking right into an Alice in Wonderland like world from the start. The ambience reminds me of a trippy Disney experience. Even the bathroom have included a fun twist. The wait staff were super polite and helpful throughout the night. The drinks were great and the food was top notch. The Risotto was the star of the evening. Super creamy and cooked very well. Definitely plan on visiting again while in London. read more

Sketch is always a must-visit when going to London! We walked in on Easter Sunday in the hopes of getting a seat and we were lucky enough to get a table at the Parlour. The service was great as usual, our order came very fast and they were able to accommodate additional people to our table. We had tea, dessert and the fish and chips. Everything was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. It was our first time at the Parlour and it was a very nice vibe, much better than the gallery that they updated since we last dined. Of course we could not miss a selfie in the bathroom which we did at the end of our meal. read more

I had the afternoon tea which I enjoyed the experience more than the food. The service was exceptional, we were constantly checked up on and made sure our needs were met and the staff was accommodating as we could not finish our food and packed our extra courses away. They gave us extra macaroons and jam to take home. However, I personally felt that there were too many sweets vs savory items but I guess this is more for someone with a strong sweet tooth. But overall I enjoyed the experience and the setting of the restaurant is beautiful. The bathrooms are an experience themselves. read more

Tea was amazing, insane, over the top and unforgettable. Service was top notch, great choices of teas, beautiful space, great tea-type foods (which are basically mayo-based things or sweet things), very cool dining area (as well as the rest of the place) and of course those crazy pod bathrooms. Would gladly do the tea experience again and would definitely try the other dining areas of the place too. What an amazing and unique experience! read more

I enjoyed the afternoon tea experience overall, but there are a few things you should be aware of before you book. First and foremost, they allow dogs. Their policy is that the dogs should be small enough to fit in a handbag and they should remain in the handbag or be leashed. When I was first seated, I noticed a dog at the table next to me running around the owner's feet. Our table was extremely close so it was a matter of time before that dog was near my feet, so that wasn't happening. I am not paying near £300 for afternoon tea to have a dog running around near my feet. To their credit they immediately found me another table when I said I wouldn't sit there. Next, you should know that this is a lively, energetic place. It is not the usual calm, serene, relaxing atmosphere that is typical of an afternoon tea venue. There is live music, quite loud, and we had a performance by a ballerina, so music to accompany her dance, so definitely a lively atmosphere. Now here is something I have never seen anywhere. I get the bill, and they have added £1.25 as an optional charity donation. They add it to the total without asking. Yes it's optional but now I have to recalculate the total. They don't give you the option to add it. They include it and dare you to remove it. That is rude and presumptuous. What is this charity? How do I know if it's something I would support? More importantly, where do you get off adding something like that without my consent? It really left a bad taste in my mouth. If you want to donate to charity, use your own money. Their service charge, again automatically added to the bill is 15%, higher than the customary 12.5% that is charged throughout the city. Now on to the food. I had a Yunnan tea that was excellent. I asked if they sold it in the gift shop, but they don't. If they had, I certainly would have purchased some. It was outstanding. The sandwiches were excellent. They had a warm croque Monsieur kind of sandwich which was a nice surprise, as warm sandwiches are not typically included on a tea tray. The coronation chicken had a beautiful presentation of a decorative slice of jelly on top. Very well done. They were also very accommodating when I asked to switch out the egg and salmon sandwiches as I don't eat either of those things. Scones were ok, a little bready for my taste, but not terrible. The pastries were hit or miss, one was pretty good, the rest I didn't care for. They actually looked prettier than they tasted. High marks for presentation. Overall a good experience, but I don't know that I will running back any time soon. read more

To be completely honest, I was so so so excited to visit sketch after everything I've heard. And while it was a beautiful visual experience, the food didn't blow me away. It was good! But not amazing. The main thing I loved was the quiche that my family and I had as an appetizer. The drinks were great too but the entrees just leave a little something to be desired. Next time I'd probably splurge on one of the more expensive restaurants as the Parlour where I went is the most affordable. read more

I'm not an influencer or anything like that but I can understand why they flock here. The place is dripping in bright colors and the decors is really interesting (especially the bathrooms). However, the food itself was just fine. Don't get me wrong, if you're here for the tea time, you WILL get plenty to eat and pick out something you'll like. Still, at the end of the day, I couldn't help wonder if the kitchen was falling back on the decor/vibe to carry the overall success of the restaurant. It's a pet peeve of mine that often happens with restaurants that get lazy because they have a nice view or legacy name etc. Still, it wasn't necessarily bad and I would recommend it for a girls tea time or brunch your mom. Just be prepared to pay for the pretty experience, not necessarily the best meal of your life. read more

Very delicious afternoon tea and artsy designs. The whole experience started with an amazing experimental artsy website. Super fancy interior and there was a small orchestra trio playing in the dining room. The menu was super cute and the server would explain everything in detail. I loved their afternoon tea set -- the sandwiches were well flavored, sweets were super cute (a little too sweet), and the tea pairing was amazing (highly recommend the phoenix honey orchid for the roasted oolong with sweet aroma)! The cake in the end was not as up to standard though, which was a bit unsatisfying end. read more

Sketch is all about the experience. There's been a lot of hype about this place in the past few years, and I'm here to tell you that Sketch delivers. The food may not be top tier all the time, but the ambiance more than makes up for it. --- The food: we came during the holiday season, and received the seasonal menu. The food is broken up into four "courses" + you can get refills on anything on the pastries/sandwiches stand, as well as unlimited pots of tea. Course 1: eggs drumkilbo. This is delicious! The egg is hollowed out and made into an almost saucelike texture. It's served with a side of caviar and a langoustine jelly, which I didn't think I'd like as much as I did. Course 2: sandwiches/pastries. The sandwiches were fairly good -- although I personally am not a huge fan of cucumber, which featured pretty heavily in two sandwiches. The pastries were a bit of a hit or miss for me. I absolutely loved the macarons, but the cheesecake was a little lackluster. Course 3: the scones. OMG THE SCONES. I wish I had proper words to describe how GOOD the scones were. They were served warm (literally steaming when I broke mine open) with a side of clotted cream and jam. SO GOOD. Course 4: a slice of Yule Log cake. I will never not be a cake fan, and happy to say that Sketch delivered. ---- Alright, now that that's said and done, onto....the ambiance! All I can say is the atmosphere is for Sketch is amazing. There was a ballerina that came in to do a live performance. There was a live orchestral trio that played for at least 30 minutes. My boyfriend and I were constantly wowed, and I couldn't have asked for anything more from afternoon tea. --- The service was great as well! Our server wasn't as attentive as she could have been, but she was incredibly nice and there was always someone we could flag down if we needed anything. --- TLDR: Sketch is a splurge, but (to me) it's worth it. It's one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I would recommend to anyone who's visiting London. read more

My husband and I are on our honeymoon and chose this restaurant as a special date night and are so glad we did! Upon arrival we were treated with the upmost hospitality.

We were constantly checked on and explained each dish. The menu had a wide variety of foods, many of which I have never tried before. The staff also sent us links in an email for other foods to try during the rest of our honeymoon. They also gave us a tour after our meal and we got to see the famous bathrooms! I hope to be able to make it back one day. Most amazing dining experience we've ever had! read more
