The Cavendish
Nestled at 35 New Cavendish Street, just off Marylebone High Street, this stylish gastropub blends approachable charm with polished design. Downstairs offers a sociable pub atmosphere with stools, booths, and a vibrant bar, while upstairs brings artfully finished lounges, velvet seating, exposed brick, green accents, marble tables, and ambient lighting—ideal for both casual afternoons and after-work socialising.
