Review of The Gilbert Scott

The Gilbert Scott is a new addition to King's Cross, and one of the reasons why that area is no longer deserving of its 'scummy' reputation (well, not much anyway). It's incredibly beautiful and unashamedly art deco. Despite the friendly and laidback service, it's the sort of place you get dressed up to visit. They do afternoon tea (which I haven't tried) but I can recommend the house cocktail, 1853. If the rest of the hotel is as gorgeous as this bar, I'll definitely have to visit soon!
