Works by Andy Warhol, Lucian Freud and other artists now adorn the famous pub and restaurant at The Audley Public House in London’s Mayfair, following the renovation of the historic five-storey building, built in 1888, by French architectural firm Laplace.

The aim of the owners was to upgrade the interior of the pub while maintaining its original features.

“The word ‘audley’ in Anglo-Saxon means ‘old friend’ and the pub has been an old friend to those living and working in Mayfair since it opened in the Edwardian period. We wanted it to remain exactly that,” said Ewan Venters, managing director of Artfarm, the owner company.
