London’s Met Bar set for revamp

The capital’s iconic Met Bar, housed within the Metropolitan London hotel, is to undergo a revamp, with current interiors including booths and DJ decks being sold in a charity ebay auction. Launched in 1997, the Met Bar is open to hotel guests and members only, and has welcomed celebrities including Kate Moss and Sadie Frost over the years. The bar will be “reborn” this autumn, with “a new look, new menu and new sophistication”, and its interiors are being sold off on ebay in support of the charity Teens Unite – Fighting Cancer. The sale includes private booths, DJ decks, glassware, tables, chairs and bar stools. For more information and to bid click here. The Met Bar will close on July 31, reopening in September.
