West London's original style bar, and still drawing the crowds, Lonsdale's well-coiffed interiors will always appeal - from the raised domes on the walls to the glass arc in the ceiling. Waiting staff are awful pretty, though sometimes not worth the wait - it's table service only here, and, thank heavens for small mercies, you can usually get one.
