It's been many years in the works, but it looks as though the plans for the American 'is it a gallery or a shop' RH (also known as Restoration Hardware) to open in the heart of London are properly underway.
They're going to be opening one of their gallery/lifestyle shops just off Savile Row in a development across three Grade II listed buildings, one of which was last occupied by Abercrombie & Fitch. Plans submitted to Westminster Council by RH's architects, Foster and Partners show that there will be a restaurant, wine bar and barrista bar on the ground floor. There's going to be another wine bar on the second floor with its own roof terrace along with a basement Champagne and caviar bar.
It's all very similar to the set-up of their hotel and gallery space in New York's meatpacking district which also has a rooftop restaurant with a terrace and a basement Champagne and caviar bar.
The project has taken at least five years to come to fruition, during which time RH have also opened their massive Cotswolds site RH England at Aynho Park, with its five restaurants and bars.
Expect more news about this opening in the coming months.
