Toklas - Entire Venue at Toklas Restaurant
About this space
The restaurant room has a low-key, brasserie-style feel. Design accents such as the vintage parquet floor, iroko tabletops, and Børge Mogensen chairs make an elegant foil for bespoke pendant LED lights and comfortable green leather banquettes.
The space is versatile with the open kitchen grill that runs along the main dining room. The dining area can be extended into the bar room or closed off. The windowed perimeter of the space opens onto the terrace, providing a large space for outdoor drinks and dining with a retractable awning that provides shade and shelter.
A light, spacious bar room connects to the restaurant and can be opened and closed off to the area via an extendable door. The bar space has mellow furnishings Gesture chairs by Hans Olsen and a 9m reclaimed iroko bar counter with a marble front. Windows run along both sides of the bar, and the recessed sliding wall can provide privacy from the restaurant space as needed.
Our hidden terrace garden runs alongside the restaurant dining room bar area. The terrace has a retractable awning, outdoor bar, and heaters making it comfortable under various weather conditions.

To quote Tim Hayward in the FT:
"I know I shouldn’t bang on about architecture in a food column, but Toklas is more exciting than almost any other room in London. Down one side of the original buildings, the courtyard level was thrust through the building above and hung out over Surrey Street as a terrace. During redevelopment, the internal space — designed by Stafford School, who has also worked on the Barbican Centre — was cleared back to the original shuttered concrete and opened seamlessly onto the terrace. It is breathtaking. You eat, suspended among the derelict upper layers of the surrounding buildings, staring at the ceramic encrustation of the old Strand Tube station, realizing how much of this part of London is actually Beaux-Arts.
