This past weekend we headed to the city for a walk-about. Now I don’t normally like to do this as my body goes on autopilot and thinks it is going to work, but a very unusual phenomenon occurs in London on the weekends – it turns into an eerie zombie movie set by emptying out! I really love wondering around the quieter streets of London taking photos and taking up as much of the sidewalk as I want. We strolled past The Refinery – and I had to do a double take! If you have read my blog before, you will know how much I love the rustic industrial look and The Refinery has it in spades! I am nuts about the mismatched chairs and the light fittings (again). I checked out menu when I got home and I will definitely be dropping by for lunch!

Wow! I love this place and also the whole rustic industrial look. From the rustic wood planks on the wall to the bulb pendant lights. I wish I am there physically! Thanks for sharing.

Just amazing! I want to recreate the sitting area with the 4 different chairs. The restaurant looks sublime. Modern yet still cozy.
ReplyDeleteLove the mix of seating options, something for everyone! Can't wait for the chance to visit London and find all these cool quirky haunts.
ReplyDeleteSimply WOW! Usually industrial is rather masculine and sometimes cold but this is absolutely amazing. I love the mix of furniture- everything has been done to well and tasteful. Looking forward to stopping by here the next time I'm in London.
ReplyDeleteThis place is HUGE and soooo awesome! Not sure what I love most about it...from the open kitchen to the architectural design to the layout...love it all! I wish there was one in the states.
