This has just blown my mind, I've only just stumbled across this. Sorry for being late to the party but the obvious question is...is The Cabinet Room still a bar? Have the new owners stayed in touch or sent any new photos Simon?
What a bar, I don't have plumbing out to mine so don't even have a sink!
No. I've not kept in touch with the new owners, but they had plans to turn it into a kitchen-dining room. I now have a bar in our office, The Clocktower.
What a fantastic space (even without the provenance provided)...
shame I haven't got a spare £900k — I'd snap it up!
Good luck with the sale and whatever you have planned moving forward.
I've spent the entire time I've been on this site thinking to myself, I should go to that Cabinet Room cocktail bar, buy a drink from Simon and have a chat one of my visits back to London. Now I find out it's your living room, which makes me a) jealous; b) sad that it's not a public bar I can just go and visit to do what I wanted to do; and c) want to create and name my own home bar in a way that would be as cool as this one. Good luck on the sale!
Thanks James. House prices when I first purchased all those decades ago were a real bargain, although even it was my credit cards that took the strain.
