Spilt into different rooms, where you experience an unforgettable one. The worst part of eating at Sketch? The sketchy people. If youre ever around near Oxford Street, you have to check out the quirky Sketch restaurant. For a brief moment, I had the place to myself. Three screen taps of the interior, away from other guests and two of the restroom, once a pile of Instagram hungry lunatics were disbanded. Of course, I too was guilty of snapping a picture or two, so who am I to kick off? I couldn’t help but snap a shot of the restroom or the iconic pink decor, but my entire choreographed scene took a matter of seconds and a total of 5 clicks. To put it into perspective, the server politely introduced each course with a “are you ready” so that they could get their cameras out. It was a wild photoshoot masquerading as a meal, with absolutely no conversation. We’re talking switching out handbags, sunglasses and multiple angles. The table next to us was like watching a real life montage from the outstanding film “Crazy Rich Asians” where two… putting it politely… very “luxury focused” guests were taking turns doing photo shoots on each other, as the other ate.

Throughout the three delectable courses it was frankly quite hard to concentrate on the food. Is there another restaurant in the world where people sneak in just to photograph a bathroom?īack at my seat things weren’t all that different, either. Their treasure: The Sketch toilets! As I photobombed my way through to the exquisite bathroom, in hopes of finding a stall without a tragically hip Sex and the City cast off making a pouty face to their photographer, it dawned on me that this was absolute insanity.
I loved it.īut as I stood up, I found myself trudging through a flooded sea of people who were not drinking, not eating or to the best of my knowledge, patrons at all! They were part of a mob of #Instagram obsessed picture hunters, in a real life game of Pokemon Go. It’s like futuristic outer space meets garden gnome display and it’s extraordinary. It’s a constantly evolving art feature with individual pods. The mens room was calling and I’d heard great things about this particularly nifty shared bathroom. If A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words, These People Are Rambling…Īfter ordering a Mezcal Negroni for a spot of day drinking, as one does around the holidays when self employed and on a date with their wife, I briefly excused myself. There was just one problem with eating at Sketch – the Instagram fiends. Sketch is easily the most “Instagram” famous restaurant in London and unlike many venues which fall into the cliched style over substance phrase, everything was legitimately excellent. It was all there, and what a scene it was to behold in person. A mad hatters tea party, an indoor snow machine, art quite literally bursting off the walls and yes the iconic pink “tea room”.
