Sketch London

Sketch sits at 9 Conduit Street. It is a five-minute walk from the Royal Academy of Arts, placing it in the thick of the gallery district. The room runs smart, in keeping with the surrounding area.

While most international kitchens in Mayfair lean into staid, clubby traditions, Sketch is defined by a commitment to the ornamental. Holding a Michelin star, the restaurant offers contemporary, modern cooking that prioritizes visual theatre over the quiet restraint expected by its Bond Street neighbours. It is a more demanding environment than other fine dining rooms nearby, and it is precisely that sense of spectacle that separates a dinner here from a standard meal in the West End.
