Commenting on the re-design, Richard Rogers states: “Stuart and I set out to make distinctive but subtle changes – we have significantly remodelled The River Café while respecting its visual identity and retaining its original elegance.”

The reception desk and ‘pass’ have been constructed of vivid yellow ‘Corian’ and dramatically top-lit, this new area is located next to The River Café bar, which has been adapted and enhanced with a new back-lit bottle display. Behind the scenes, the bathrooms have been re-planned and reconstructed, with fluorescent primary colours and significantly increased space.
