Poured through a small tea strainer, earl grey or vanilla infused Veuve welcomes those enjoying the champagne afternoon tea. So seriously in fact they are willing to pour Veuve Clicquot through it. Pleasingly, they take their tea seriously here too. The tableware was an artful touch – reaching the bottom of my cup, Shrigley’s words ‘forget about it’ reminded me that a good cup of tea can help you do just that. I’m English and a huge earl grey fan (I may even be verging on Lady Bracknell) and was delighted to use a silver tea strainer and spoon. There were 19 choices of tea available, including black, white, oolong, herbal, green and puerh teas, all with descriptions to help you choose. Then the small decision of which tea to accompany our food. We were welcomed to The Gallery by each and every waiter and waitress who walked past us with wide smiles and our waiter Jean-Francois explained the full menu with a relaxed charm and knowledge. The table itself, with the gleaming white and heavy linen spread across it like a blank canvas, is an extension of the exhibition space, with the tableware and food design illustrating the flow of creativity around sketch.

I spent a good while devouring the interior design before the food was even brought to us. This 18th-centry townhouse serves afternoon tea during the day and cocktails in the evening, its phrase “Eat your Art out” perfectly describing the culinary exhibition space. It seems appropriate to set the scene: sketch was opened in December 2002 by French Michelin-stared master chef Pierre Gagnaire and restaurateur Mourad “Momo” Mazouz their desire to create ‘a centre, a “lieu” or destination place, for food, art and music’. While I waited with an old friend for a new friend to arrive, Charles treated us to a game of hop sketch….well, hop scotch but I think allowances on the name must be made! This fun, refreshing and delicious theme continued throughout our afternoon at this sharp and fashionable venue. Instead, to entice you into sketch, is Charles the aesthetically delicious doorman. In the heart of Mayfair, amongst Vivienne Westwood, Dior and Jimmy Choo, there is one boutique venue which doesn’t have a store window to show off its delights. Sketch London serves up a luxuriously chic afternoon tea, the décor and atmosphere as artful and delicious as the bubbles and bites.
