Unusual but effective design
Today was my sister’s birthday so I’ve spent the day in London with my parents visiting. My sister is an arty girl, always good at hunting out the quirky or unusual and today’s meal destination was no exception. We went to a place called LMNT, a very good restaurant with rather odd decore.
If you can imagine a place that used to be a pub and is now a gastro bar, decorated like a rather gaudy Ancient Egypt with bits of Ancient Greece and Rennaisance Italy, then you’ll be fairly close. It sounds rather tacky, but the detail in the designs made it something else entirely. There were booths that had to be approached by stairs, a ceiling like a tent, a massive glittering gold Sphyinx and the bar was decorated with inlaid old coins. My sister and I have decided that we need to go back and have dinner in the booth inside an enourmous urn.
The food was very good, too, and it’s certainly not a place that I’ll be forgetting in a hurry.
In other thoughts, could someone please make all those St. George flags go away? It’s nice to see everyone supporting England, even though we have no hope of winning, but the flags are getting very OTT and the tournament hasn’t even started.
