Scenarios and venues in London
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Dinner in Mayfair
The most frequent scenario for London — dinner in Mayfair or close by. Format 3-4 hours: meeting at the entrance to the restaurant or in the lobby of the nearest hotel, dinner, and on request a walk through Berkeley Square or Green Park. We agree the dress code for each restaurant in advance — The Ledbury and Scott's are one thing, Sexy Fish is quite another.
The Dorchester
Park Lane, London W1K 1QA
Park Lane, opposite Hyde Park. One of the two principal Mayfair addresses for our work — we know everything here, including which entrance is more convenient and where to receive a guest without unnecessary attention at reception. Alain Duc…
Nobu Mayfair
19 Old Park Lane, London W1K 1LB
Japanese-Peruvian
Old Park Lane, by Hyde Park. Classic Nobu Matsuhisa — black cod miso, rock shrimp tempura, dishes the whole London business set knows. A light format, plenty of private tables. For a meeting in a business context with dinner — a good middle…
Scott's
20 Mount Street, London W1K 2HE
Seafood and British classics
Mount Street, Mayfair. One of the oldest dining rooms in London — since 1851. Oysters, lobster, the British seafood classic. The familiar dining room of London's financial and media establishment. Quiet, steady, no extras.
Sexy Fish
Berkeley Square, London W1J 6BR
Asian, seafood
Berkeley Square, Mayfair. Martin Brudnizki design, Damien Hirst sculptures, an aquarium with rays — a restaurant as an art installation. Japanese-Asian cooking with the accent on seafood. Loud, dear, beautiful. Not for serious conversation …
The Wolseley

Hotel Meeting
Hotels on Park Lane, in Mayfair, on the Strand. For hotel meetings we work with the five-star addresses where we know the specifics — which entrance is more convenient, how reception is organised, where it's best to receive a guest. The model arrives at the agreed time in the lobby or at the room — by the client's choice.

Opera, Theatre, Cultural Evening

Frieze and Art Events
October, Regent's Park — Frieze Art Fair, one of the principal art fairs in the world. Previews, dinners after, after-parties. For this scenario we match a model with a real interest in contemporary art — not a surface one. She takes part in the conversation, doesn't stand alongside. Dinner after the preview — The Ledbury or Davies & Brook at Claridge's.

Wimbledon, Chelsea Flower Show, Ascot
The peak seasonal events — Chelsea Flower Show in May, Wimbledon in late June through early July, Royal Ascot in June. Each has its own dress code, and the model knows all three. At Wimbledon Centre Court — club smart-casual. In the Royal Enclosure at Ascot — hat, hemline below the knee, shoulders covered. At Chelsea — looser, but neat. Agreed 5-7 days before the event.
