High Life

82 品 From beginning to end, the Timothy Oulton experience is nothing short of extraordinary. At the entrance, guests will be greeted by Derek the Diver, a deep-sea diver donning a 1940s vintage helmet that protects him from the surrounding swarm of majestic Amazon basin red-bellied and gold-flecked live piranhas. Past the tank, guests will make their way up a spiral staircase as authentic bar beams of century- old English reclaimed timbers crisscross overhead along with a glittering crystal chandelier in 1960s Venetian style. On the second landing, step onto themesmerizingRomanoptical black andwhite patterned marble flooring, with each piece meticulously hand- cut and laid. The moonstone bar ahead is a glowing sight to behold, featuring back-lit Italianmoonstone and 495 herringbone baguettes of K9 Optical glass that refract the light like crystal. Settle into one of the seats showcasing deep-tufted leather banquettes, hand-buttoned and hand-finished with translucent dyes to give a rich, warm patina. At Gough’s on Gough, this is how one’s night begins, and similarly, how it ends.
