This is a marvellous late Victorian edifice faced in red brick and pink terracotta. The splendid interior boasts polished wood and plasterwork; note the double faced clock. Many original features remain or have been superbly replaced after WW2 bomb damage but the windowpanes are more recent, having been blown out by another bomb attack in 1975 on a nearby restaurant.

Iwan and Manuela Wirth, the Swiss owners of the Fife Arms, in Braemar, Scotland, took on the pub lease via their hospitality company Artfarm and substantial renovation took place. The Audley Public House is at ground level and Mount St. Restaurant is on the first floor. The remaining three floors have rooms available for hire; the Swiss Room, the Scottish Room, and the Games Room. All the areas are designed to showcase art from the Hauser & Wirth art galleries. The spectacular pub ceiling is a specially commissioned work by the late British artist Dame Phyllida Barlow. According to the venue website, she created a collaged mosaic of hand painted paper in a range of hot colours, inspired by the curvature of the pub windows. Above the bar is a neon ‘FRIENDS’ sign by Turner Prize winner Martin Creed, and on the wall at the back of the room hangs an artwork by Mark Campbell.

Two ales are from Sambrook's. Bar snacks include Scotch eggs, pints of prawns, and cockles in malt vinegar. Bar food prices are what you might expect for Mayfair; check the chalkboard for daily offerings, and Sunday roasts are also available downstairs.

The upstairs restaurant has gained a very good reputation since it opened, and it is stated that King Charles and the Queen have dined here.
