London's Most Photographed Bar
Sketch is a multi-room bar and restaurant compound on Conduit Street that has grown into a London landmark. The Gallery — the all-pink room covered in David Shrigley drawings — is one of the most photographed interiors in London. The Glade, the Parlour, and East Bar each have distinct themes.
The cocktails are luxurious and unsurprising. The drinks are correctly built but priced for the venue and the photo opportunity. Order something classical — the Sidecar is the best choice — and treat the experience as theatrical rather than focused cocktail discipline.
The crowd is luxury travellers, special-occasion couples, and Instagram-bound visitors. Best for a single themed evening rather than a serious cocktail destination. For pure cocktail focus, Connaught Bar nearby is the better choice.
