A long curved mustard velvet sofa round a walnut kidney table with a decanter tray, a brass sputnik chandelier and globe pendants, rosewood panelled walls, a bar with brass stools against lit shelves of bottles, two oak lounge chairs, a record player on a sideboard, a large geometric print and a deep teal carpet. Tall windows on the left look down onto the lit shopfronts and birches of Market Row.
