Housed in the former listed Reuters building in Fleet Street, Lutyens Restaurant, Bar and Cellar Rooms is named after its architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens. Located at 85 Fleet Street, the site was also the birthplace of Samuel Pepys and the overall design and detail draws strong reference from all three of its illustrious predecessors - Lutyens, Pepys and Baron von Reuters.
The original building was built in 1939 and the design team have created a space that reflects this period but is finished in a modern style and with subtle references to Art Deco and modernism of the 1930s.
Floor to ceiling windows flood the main restaurant with natural light and offer stunning views of St Brides Church. Beautiful porcelain lights by Diffuse hang in the restaurant and bar. Features include immaculately restored Spiderback Lutyens chairs, a tall Lutyens clock from the original building that has been beautifully restored and Italian Travertine flooring, sourced to match the flooring used in the original building.
The colour scheme in the restaurant is light with Eau de Nile green leathers and fabrics which contrast with the darker marble tones and Brazilian mahogany in the bar area, which also has a ‘tumbling block’ design smoked mirror behind the bar. Benchmark Furniture produced most of the furniture while Studio Conran developed all of the graphics and restaurant identity.
In the basement is The Cellar Room, a private members club with its own bar and a dining area. There are also four private dining rooms each equipped for meetings and decorated with Lutyens original architectural drawings from the RIBA archive. Art from Terence Conran’s private collection will be displayed throughout the restaurant and club.
