En regardant dans la direction du terrain de cricket, le parc Wandsworth Common prend des allures de village et la décoration de cet établissement reflète son histoire : de la lumière, de la verdure, des murs lambrissés et de charmants bibelots à l'esprit campagnard français, le tout sous un ancien plafond en fer forgé et verre. Avec sa confortable terrasse, le Bellevue est également le lieu idéal pour les amateurs de soupers en plein air. Les prix y sont étonnamment raisonnables.

Having spent years supplying London’s top restaurants through their separate wine businesses, Joe Haynes and Benedict Butterworth have joined forces with Tom Hurst, who has worked at Brawn, The Marksman, Levan, and most recently as Head Chef at Lasdun, to launch the trio’s first restaurant together.Located in a Grade II listed building on Cloth Fair, Cloth Restaurant is part of a historic row of buildings in the City of London that survived the Great Fire of 1666. Down this atmospheric alley opposite St Bartholomew church, Cloth is taking over a double fronted corner site that’s beneath the former home of poet John Betjeman and next door to the two oldest residential buildings in London. Inside, low ceilings, wood floorboards with antique wall lights and artwork create a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while marble tables, long dark wood banquettes, antique crockery and cutlery will create the feel of a classic bistro.
