There may have been 28 London bars and restaurants shortlisted for this year's Restaurant & Bar Design Awards but just four managed to pick up an award last night - and two of those were in the Barbican.
The Barbican Lounge, which features a unique light installation from Beirut designers PS Lab (see picture), picked up the gong for Best Independent Restaurant while the Barbican Foodhall won for Restaurant, Bar or Club in another space. The Dock Kitchen went home with one for Best Identity and Website Design while Costa Coffee in Great Portland Street won Best Design of a Cafe or Fast Food place.
The big awards of the night went outside town to Busaba Eathai in Bicester and Smack - a bar in Leamington Spa.
