The Audley pub in London’s Mayfair is designed by architecture studio Laplace and the new renovations are commissioned by Artfarm. It takes over a five-story building that dates all the way back to 1888, which was previously a pub with rooms for staff on the upper floors. The most notable feature of the design is the slew of artwork that decorate the space. This includes works of Lucian Freud and Andy Warhol to name a few.
The current ground floor is now restored whereas the upper levels were converted into the Mount St Restaurant filled with four private dining rooms. Artfarm’s CEO Ewan Venters states that “The word Audley is English Anglo-Saxon for ‘old friend’ and the pub has been an old friend to people who live and work in Mayfair ever since it opened in Edwardian times. We wanted it to remain just that. This area is so rich in culture and history, and were better for those stories to continue than at the local pub?”
