Olympic Cafe & Dining Room

Description

The historic London recording studio that once played host to music legends Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Madonna to name but a few has opened its doors as a fusion cinema, private members club, cafe and dining room. The interior pays homage to the history of the building, communicating its musical and architectural legacy through the artefacts dotted throughout the venue and the original features that still stand: expect large wooden beams, exposed brick work and dark wooden floors, dressed in the original rugs that helped soundproof the music rooms back in the day. 

Across three floors, Olympic Studios packs in two cinemas, private dining rooms, bars, work rooms and meeting spaces. The cinema shows the best of general release, as well as lesser known art films, and hosts exclusive Q&As, special events as well as parent and baby screenings. 

With a focus on British and European food influenced the chefs create hearty wholesome dishes with house-smoked meat, roasts, lobster and more-ish desserts. Quality modern and old world wines grace the wine menu and classic, as well as inventive new recipes, make a formidable cocktail list that need to be explored to be fully appreciated. Perfect for a relaxed evening, Olympic Studios ticks all boxes of cool.
