By all accounts this is the place to be until somebody comes up with something even more daringly extravagant. 195 comes in three parts, a TV room which is available for hire for around 10 people when not in other use, the Salon a sumptuous room holding 20 for private parties, and the Lounge which has space for around 95 and serves what is referred to as 'bar-friendly' food.

This is taken to mean that your mind will be covering a range of subjects in which eating does not play a lead role. Which is certainly not to knock the good range of canapés, the chilli crab cakes and oriental duck pancakes, all of which are tasty and well presented.

The fact that the lady serving you is costumed courtesy of Virgin lingerie might conceivably have something to do with your state of mind, but that's your problem. Just voted Bar of the Year at the Evening Standard Awards it seems likely that 195 is headed for a glittering future.
