Just as photogenic as the restaurant its attached to, this restroom surprisingly makes for one of the most unique and hip interior spaces in London. Capture the white pods under the ambient glow of the pastel ceiling lights and lush flowers and you'll be able to create a one-of-a-kind shot.

There are hardly any windows in the restroom at Sketch, so be mindful of the low-light setting and photograph during the day if you want to capture a brighter image.
Field tips
Be respectful of other guests at the restaurant and in the restroom. Some people might not want their photo taken so wait until you have an empty space before taking any photos.
Although I recommend shooting this scene without anyone in it, you could also have a model in your frame to breathe some life into the photo. For that, I would come here in the morning when there are less people at the restaurant.
Try using a wide-angle lens (16mm), which will allow you to incorporate the flowers, ceiling and pods in your shot.

Do nearby
After exploring the lavatories, make sure to have afternoon tea in the restaurant. The 18th-century townhouse is known for its bright pink decor and eccentric art, which makes for an equally Instagrammable photo.
