This rejuvenated Daily Mail Headquarters in the heart of the London's legal district guarantees an aesthetically appealing environment, but the feel of the place is not just enhanced by the lighting and grand fittings alone; the all-pervading air of camaraderie among diners and the soft music playing in the background also contribute to the pleasing atmosphere within.

There are several dining options here, the cocktail bar, the gold lounge or silver room, and likewise a menu to suit different moods and times of the day. So there could be a smoked salmon platter and fricassée of leeks and chicken with wild mushroom tortellini in the lunch carte, or you could explore some tapas and small bites such as mini duck spring rolls and Vietnamese sweet chilli and moules marinière on the bar menu.

Desserts are no longer confined to the plate as they've now moved to the shaker; yes, there are dessert cocktails such as strawberry cheesecake, the Class Rooms? version done with fresh strawberries and puree, shaken with cream and vodka, and a dash of grenadine, topped with crumbled cookies.
