London Daily Photo: The Courtesan Dim Sum Bar in Brixton
Snapped this shot a few weeks back during a shindig at the Courtesan dim sum bar in Brixton. I had a lot of fun sampling the cocktails and absolutely loved their Wagyu and ribeye beef sliders.

Even the brisk zip up to the restaurant in its own glass elevators offers an overwhelming wow of an experience (if the ride’s a bit too much of a wow, just turn to face the door for a less harrowing experience).
