Often, I find the best way to ease into a conversation with someone you have just met is to talk about things you both hate – talking about something you both love inevitably can lead to who likes it more or who liked it first. With Sketch love and hate swing dramatically depending on whom you are talking to. I will find any excuse to come here but I think afternoon tea is my favourite pursuit. The Parlour is an eclectic mix of Louis XIV furniture and black perspex, modern yet tasteful Warhol style paintings of Kate Moss adorn the walls (I know this sounds awful but trust me it works ok). It’s totally Nouveau Riche but that’s better than No Riche at all. Afternoon tea is a tier of miniature scones and homemade jam with a pot of tea in a gold teapot. It will set you back £10 and is a complete rip-off but whatever. It’s one of the few places I will let get away with it. Sketch makes no attempt to hide the fact that it thinks it’s cooler than you are.
