In the heart of Holborn, Scarfes Bar London is more than a place to sip a cocktail—it’s a cultural statement. Nestled within the Rosewood Hotel at 252 High Holborn, the bar redefines hospitality by fusing caricature, craft, and comfort into an atmosphere that feels both eccentric and timeless.
The story begins with inspiration from New York’s Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle, where illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans left his whimsical mark. In 2014, Rosewood turned to celebrated British caricaturist Gerald Scarfe, envisioning a space where his irreverent art would be the very soul of the bar. The result is a haven of luxury without pretension, where each detail serves as an invitation to indulge in art, sound, and taste.
