The Den at St Martins Lane

Warm and sophisticated with a tongue-in-cheek British flair – even the art on the walls doesn’t take itself too seriously. Larger-than-life portraits and visual puns set the stage for a playful yet quirky experience.

Welcome to The Den, home to our whimsical Tea & Tales afternoon tea. Delight in an imaginative spread of savoury bites and sweet treats, from a Croque Monsieur inspired by our iconic revolving doors to an elderflower and gold-dusted tea, a nod to our hidden speakeasy.

Come and make yourself comfortable on our plush leather sofas, complete with warm, cozy lighting creating an enticing ambiance.
