Tom Sellers' two-Michelin-star tasting room, the chapter's South-Bank fine-dining anchor
A 15-cover Michelin-starred tasting room inside Blue Mountain School, cooking is the only headline
Cycene, Old English for kitchen, sits on the top floor of Blue Mountain School, a Shoreditch concept space that also houses a fashion gallery and a music room. Theo Clench opened the room in late 2022 and won a Michelin star within six months on a 10-course Asia-and-game-leaning menu; he left in mid-2024 for IGNI in Mayfair, and the kitchen has continued under a successor team that has retained the star into the 2026 Guide. Fifteen seats, no chatter, single tasting menu only. The chapter's chef's-table-register address.
Single 19:00 sitting, ten courses, run as a single service, book four to six weeks out. İstanbullu seconders that asked for The Ledbury but found it full books here. Wine pairing is excellent and the non-alcoholic pairing is one of the most considered in London.
