Insider Intel

Order This

The Pimm's Cup. Nothing else. It's what they're famous for.

Best Time

Afternoon when the opera recordings echo through the courtyard. Come for the atmosphere, not efficiency.

Know Before You Go

Built as a refuge for Napoleon (who never made it). The peeling walls and classical music are intentional. The muffuletta is legitimately good. Time moves differently here.
