Unremarkable block of flats in London is hiding a ‘bonkers’ 80s restaurant

If you were to take the tube to St John’s Wood station, head down Wellington Road towards Regent’s Park, then turn left onto Prince Albert Road, eventually you’d come across Oslo Court. It’s a rather unremarkable block of flats, designed by architect Robert Atkinson in the 1930s, which contains 125 one bedroom apartments.

There is one particularly interesting feature inside though – a restaurant on the ground floor that visitors claim feels frozen in time, or ‘stuck in a time warp’. Oslo Court Restaurant was launched by Tony and Jose Sanchez in 1982 and remains a family restaurant, serving classic dishes from another era, including melba toast, lobster bisque, melon and Parma ham, lamb cutlets, halibut, veal schnitzel, pavlova, and crêpes suzette.

Tony, who was born in Galicia, Northern Spain, trained as a chef in Geneva before moving to the UK in 1968, he spent years working in high-end restaurants and exclusive locations in London throughout the 70s, before deciding to go into business with his brother.
