The Footman

Nanu Group was tasked with completely revamping the three-story Footman pub in London, which has been a fixture since 1749. Originally known as The Running Horse and frequented by footmen serving Mayfair households, the pub transitioned owners over time and eventually took on the name Footman. Renowned for being a hub of gossip, the pub needed a modern facelift while preserving its historical allure.

We successfully modernized the venue by introducing clearly delineated areas for drinking and dining on each floor, with the upper levels designated for private events. The redesign retained the original fittings like the art deco-inspired mirrored bar while incorporating softer tones and lighter textures to cultivate a welcoming ambiance for patrons to relax in.
