Great Court Restaurant at the British Museum

Bar
London

The London architecture and design studio Softroom is responsible for the restauration of a restaurant with a very special location: it is under the glass room Sir Norman Foster created for the atrium of the British Museum. For the restaurant, the team was inspired by the colors and details of the historic reading room. The designers opened up the kitchen area and stretched it far into the restaurant. This way, they created a relaxed atmosphere. Large dining tables underline the communicative ideal.

Special Tips

Single elements of the menue refer to current exhibitions of the hotel–very unusual!
