Kioku Sake Bar
The name means memory, and evenings here are made for keeping - a rare pour, low light, nowhere else to be.
At the ceremonial heart of London, The OWO marks the turning seasons with a year-round programme of events, openings and encounters. Whatever the moment – a launch, a tasting, a private gathering – something is always taking shape behind these historic walls.

The hospitality of Raffles is always present yet never intrudes, attending to the details of daily life so that yours unfolds exactly as you wish.
