"The best restaurants in South Kensington are no secret to the most cultured among us. This corner of London is more synonymous with groundbreaking exhibitions than a buzzy food scene - but hey, who can compete with the V&A, Natural History Museum and Science Museum as neighbours? Alas, culture vultures require sustenance like everyone else, and there are plenty of exceptional places in these parts ready to tend to those post-gallery rumbles."
"The Lavery is a restaurant, café and event space a stone's throw from the station, its position amidst the chain restaurants singling it out as a top choice for something more upmarket. But its history as the former home and studio of painter Sir John Lavery will entice architecture aficionados. And they won't be disappointed; think high ceilings, original wooden flooring and a refreshingly simple lack of decor - the fireplace, baroque-style mirrors and intricate cornicing sit as a focal point around the tables,"
South Kensington sits amid major museums but also contains a growing roster of noteworthy restaurants. Options range from ostentatious Italian to Greek affairs, catering to post-gallery diners. The Lavery occupies the former home and studio of painter Sir John Lavery and combines restaurant, café and event space just a short walk from the station. Interior features include high ceilings, original wooden flooring, a fireplace, baroque-style mirrors and cornicing. The menu emphasises Mediterranean seasonality fused with British influences and changes daily; seafood stands out, with dishes such as Scottish scallop with tomato and monkfish with beans.
