Revolution’s new City venue occupies the building at 140-144 Leadenhall Street and is located a stone’s throw from the infamous Lloyds and Gherkin buildings, it does itself enjoy a sizeable slice of architectural notoriety.

The building is part of Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens impressive portfolio which includes some of the British Empire’s most impressive buildings and monuments from country houses to war epic memorials as well as his instrumental role in building India’s new capital city New Delhi - or ‘Lutyens Delhi’ as it was known from 1910 to 1929 - establishing himself as one of Britain’s greatest ever architects.

Lutyens was born in London in 1869 and died in the capital in 1944, despite working on projects across the globe. He was knighted in 1918, and elected to the Royal Academy in 1921.

The building at 140-144 Leadenhall was completed in 1931 and has spent much of its life as the city branch for Midland Bank (now known as HSBC). Its classic design, with it’s high ceilings and commanding exterior with its ‘two towers’ still strike a sense of awe into any visitor. With the collosal renovation that has taken place ready for the introduction of its next resident, Revolution Vodka Bar, the site is sure to impress well into the future.

We have managed to maintain some of the banks unique features. Such as the legendarty Vault. In The 1930’s the Vault was home to priceless pieces as a safety Deposit and Strong Room. Now the Vault is the finest party room In The City... and of course the best lock in around!

The ground floor bar has been named the Lutyens Bar in honour of its designers legacy, and while it is as currently unconfirmed whether Sir Lutyens was partial to a large vodka and tonic or a even a Bison Grass Mojito when attending to his drawing board and set square... we like to think so!

Please Remember next time your In The City raise your glass to the history and magic of this wonderful place!
