Our Story
A building with more character than most
This building has had more lives than most. It's been part of Victoria for over two hundred years, and it has reinvented itself again and again.
It started in the 1800s as a working malthouse. The glass atrium in the middle was built so steam could rise off the malting floors. Since then it has been a fishing tackle showroom for Edwardian sportsmen, a busy post-war diner in the 1950s called The 43, and for thirty years the much-loved Carriages Restaurant, where theatregoers came for supper opposite the Royal Mews. For nearly 25 years after that it was bbar, serving South African-inspired cocktails under London's largest living wall.
