MERIDIAN
By Invitation Only
Twelve rooms. One address.
You arrive through a corridor that has not changed since 1927. Narrow. Lit by a single sconce. The door at the end opens only when you are expected.
Two thousand labels. No wine list. The sommelier reads the table and returns with something you have never thought to ask for — and will not forget.
1927
The building at St James's Place was completed that year.
Meridian arrived ninety-two years later. The corridor has not changed.
