A dining room in the old banking hall and a garden restaurant on the roof bring food and wine to the Californian furniture house’s gallery in a 1723 Palladian mansion on Burlington Gardens.
The Bank of England once kept a banking hall at 7 Burlington Gardens. It is now The Dining Room at RH London, with a gold leaf ceiling, oak panelling and columns eight metres tall. Elsewhere in the house, under a hand-gilded dome, a glass lift carries guests through five levels of furniture and art to a garden on the roof.
A Palladian mansion on Burlington Gardens
RH, the furniture house based in Corte Madera, California, announced the opening of RH London, The Gallery in Mayfair on 6 July 2026. It stands between the fashion houses of New Bond Street and the tailors of Savile Row, and runs over five levels.
The house was built in 1723 as Queensberry House, to designs by Giacomo Leoni, a pioneer of English Palladianism. It was later enlarged for the 1st Marquess of Anglesey and renamed Uxbridge House, before the Bank of England moved in. RH and Foster + Partners have joined it with two neighbouring properties into one gallery.
Leoni’s grand stair survives, with ornate ironwork and cantilevered limestone steps. Above it the gold leaf dome rises nearly 13 metres. The glass lift, curved and framed in champagne gold, was designed with Foster + Partners and connects all five levels.
Five levels of the gallery
The Dining Room fills the banking hall, which RH has restored under its gold leaf ceiling. The walls are high-gloss panelled oak, and tiered glass chandeliers hang from mirrored skylights between champagne-lacquered Roman columns. RH says the room takes its cue from London’s private members’ clubs, and the menu runs to classics and signature dishes cooked in the open kitchen.
The second restaurant is outside. The Perch is a garden on the roof, designed by Anouska Hempel. Beside the glass lift, a Tea Salon and Wine Bar clad in Bronze Amani marble pours tea, Champagne and wine.
Hempel also designed the bar. Its seats are upholstered in Italian Merino wool velvet under a bronze sunburst ceiling, and the list runs to Champagne, wine and cocktails. In the middle of the room a 360-degree holographic display shows the places and spaces RH says define the brand.
The other floors hold furniture, antiques and art, with work by artists on every level. RH Estates, the brand’s newest collection, is shown in the United Kingdom for the first time here. It brings together upholstery by Dmitriy & Co, classical pieces by Dennis & Leen, reproductions by Formations and designs by Michael Taylor.
An Architecture & Design Library holds rare books by the Italian masters Vitruvius, da Vinci and Palladio and by the British master Jones, a fitting shelf for a house Leoni built. RH Interior Design, the company’s residential design service, has a studio in the building.
