Flat Iron - Tottenham Court Road

A place dripping with history. Built in the late 1600s, over the years it’s had many different lives including as a weaver’s studio. Then in the 60s Denmark Street became known as London’s Tin Pan Alley and the Giaconda Café at number 9 became the place where musicians would hang out. David Bowie met his first backing group in the same space where Flat Iron at La Giaconda now sits and everyone from The Kinks to Stevie Wonder to Jimi Hendrix recorded music in the street, as commemorated by the blue plaque that sits above our restaurant.
