The City's best-kept secret? Hidden within Devonshire Square, Sir Devonshire Square offers an escape from the pace of the City without ever leaving it. Drop in for a morning coffee brewed by East London favourite Allpress, settle in for a few hours of work, enjoy breakfast, small plates, carefully curated wines and signature cocktails at the all-day bar, or ease into the evening with friends.

Beyond the food and drink, it's the year-round programme of talks, live music, intimate dinners and cultural happenings that keeps guests and locals coming back, creating all the energy of a members' club, with doors that stay open to everyone.
