Brasserie of Light
Brasserie of Light is a restaurant inside the Selfridges department store on Oxford Street, featuring modern design with polished mirror-like surfaces and gold accents throughout. The space includes large windows that provide natural daylight during the day and soft glowing lighting in the evenings, creating an elegant environment with clean lines and stylish furnishings.
The restaurant was created as part of Selfridges' redesign and features artwork by contemporary artist Damien Hirst. Its design draws from Art Deco principles while incorporating modern elements, continuing London's tradition of glamorous dining venues that blend historic style with current aesthetics.
The name reflects the restaurant's design philosophy, which centers on brightness and illumination through both natural daylight and carefully placed artificial lighting. Visitors experience the space as a glowing, energetic venue that blends modern sophistication with social enjoyment.
The restaurant is accessible via lifts and wheelchair-accessible entrances through Selfridges, with parking available in nearby car parks. Making a reservation in advance is recommended, especially during weekends and evenings, to secure seating and avoid wait times.
A massive Pegasus sculpture by artist Damien Hirst hangs from the ceiling, standing over 24 feet tall and covered entirely in white crystals that sparkle under the lights. This glittering artwork is one of Hirst's largest pieces in London and creates an otherworldly presence above the dining area.
