Extraordinary venue

Extraordinary venue in Farringdon. I discovered the Old Sessions House in occasion of the Burberry "Here we are" Exhibition. I loved the architecture, the style and design. It's a fantastic location for fashion/culture events.

Breathtaking.

This restaurant is breathtaking. Every corner of it is beautiful with so much attention to detail. The food is really good, high end small dishes and the wine list is exquisite.

Beautiful space

The Old Sessions House is an absolutely beautiful space in the middle of Central London. I’m amazed at how the historic landmark was restored in a way that honours its character and old charm. Styled with tasteful furniture, it exudes a relaxed ambiance and welcoming feel. I’ve had the pleasure of touring around by Maria who kindly showed me all the rooms and patiently answered all my questions. Everything was impressive from the building to the decor and to the way the employees handle guests.
