The Trading House

Like stepping back in time, The Trading House deals exclusively in expensive, vintage vibes that reign over this magnificent space. Where a royal banquet wouldn't be out of place, this historical space now boasts one of the most covetable dining reservations in the whole city.

Where to start with this immaculate venue? Let's start with its original features which include a sky-high hand-carved ceiling that arches gracefully over the venue. From there hang giant, contemporary lanterns that pave the way for the ground level which is structured much like a Victorian library. Wood heavy and punctuated with dinky lamps, priceless antiques and spiral staircases that no doubt lead to other glamorous adventures, The Trading House cannot be discovered in one evening. Each visit affords new surprises and new experiences, making it perfect for sensation seekers in this most opulent borough.

Given the setting, the menu is remarkably down to Earth and brings new life to British pub classics. Fish and chips are elevated with an innovative curry sauce, the classic cheeseburger gets the all-star treatment with a truffle mustard mayo and the ribeye steak is perfect with a trickle of peppercorn or truffle sauce.

Another favourite on the menu is their kebabs. Served to hang on a skewer, have yours with marinated chicken, chorizo, pork belly, halloumi or vegan meatballs. Theatrical presentation clears the way for bold flavours that linger long after the plates have been cleared away. Then, order yourself a flamboyant cocktail that is perfectly befitting to your mood. With plenty of classics and signatures, such a venue demands pure indulgence. It's all part of the trade.
