Foodies and design lovers in London, rejoice — the most beautiful restaurant in the world is under our very noses.
London's German Gymnasium, which opened in November 2015, has been named the Best Overall Restaurant by the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards.
The Awards, now in their eighth year, recognise stunning food and beverage spaces globally, such as this King's Cross-based building which was built in 1864.
See why the stunning German Gymnasium and its intricate design took the top spot in the photos below.
German Gymnasium is situated in a newly-renovated Grade II listed building between King’s Cross station and St Pancras International which was designed by architect Edward Gruning in 1864. It was the first purpose-built gym in England and was home to the first-ever indoor Olympic Games in 1866.
Before the restaurant's opening, it was used as offices, storage, and an arts exhibition space. Now, the restaurant boasts an al fresco terrace, a patisserie counter, an all-day Grand Café and the Meister Bar.
Designed by Conran & Partners, the restaurant has a stunning high ceiling and has kept many of its original features intact, mixed in with modern details – think Victorian-style gold mesh screens and fencing masks.
