Pennethorne’s Café, London, UK

Somerset House, one of London’s major cultural institutions, is now home to the brand new café and bar Pennethorne’s designed by SHH Architects. Situated on the west face of the neoclassical building, looking out onto Lancaster Place and Waterloo Bridge, the new day-to-night venue has been named after Sir James Pennethorne — the highly-reputed architect of the 19th century who was responsible for Somerset House’s 'New Wing' (which now houses the café/bar) as well as other landmarks in London
