Mimi’s in London: Soho in Ship Shape
August 4, 2026
NPS found Mimi‘s accidentally when in London seeking a Soho cocktail at Henson’s bar. We found great cocktails and also an incredible pile of art. So we figured we would try out Mimi’s on the next London run.

It’s ship shape. Literally. rooms the same size as a cabin on a 42 foot Beneteau. LOL. Lets just say that my partner in crime was not amused. Fortunately it was a quick hit with only a few quick changes.

But we’re not exaggerating about the art. See for yourself.





And it’s a good bar too.


But that was not ENOUGH art. So we went to see some Escher.

We tried to shoot a movie, but the talent was not cooperating.
How do you say “Action!” in Italian?
Faraday seems to be trapped in some kind of cage.

The American bar…take one.

Varvatos has become a regular stop.

The Connaught…though michael has moved to Zurich. Alas for Jacob.




This sign says it all.

Wait…are you SERIOUSLY trying to wear shorts into Duke’s past the woman in the drapery?! Impossible.

The American Bar does not care.



And then a captivating and stimulating version of Arcadia (one of Stoppard’s masterpieces).




So nice to spend time with Noelie and Lisa and Jacob. Romey and I are lucky to have you all.
“The ordinary-sized stuff which is our lives, the things people write poetry about—clouds—daffodils—waterfalls—what happens in a cup of coffee when the cream goes in—these things are full of mystery, as mysterious to us as the heavens were to the Greeks.”
― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia
