A Gourmet Meal on the London Underground

When you’re in London and you want the finest food served in the classiest ambiance, where do you go? To the Tube, of course! There you can a butternut velouté with crushed cumin and a crispy arancini. But you’ll have to go to one spot in particular for food like this: the Basement Gallery.

It’s a supper club that chef Alex Cooper created in an old car first used on the London Underground in 1967. Cooper uses a kitchen in what was a Victorian-era waste pumping station to prepare the food, then waiters deliver it to the train car. Guests eat on fine silverware and pristine white tablecloths. You can see more photos at Messy Nessy Chic.
