CASE STUDIES

CAMINO

Camino is London’s newest and finest Spanish Bar and Restaurant. ‘Camino’ means road, path or way, and the identity takes it's cues from authentic Spanish street signage. The first site is located in Cruz Del Rey (King’s Cross). The floor plan of over 500 sqm is divided into five zones; the juice bar/breakfast room, restaurant, bar lounge and courtyard. The 35m bar, one of the largest continuous bars in the UK, is formed from brick bond cork tiles with a hand beaten pewter top, complete with ancient Iberian script.

Camino is a fusion of authentic Spanish architecture and finishes with contemporary urban detailing. We commissioned a team of graffiti artists to hand paint the brick wall mural in the bar and everything from the charcoal grill to the reclaimed toilet doors were sourced and imported from Spain.

The menu takes the form of a pocket-sized map that unfolds to reveal a culinary journey from ‘Vacio’ (empty) to ‘Lleno’ (full). Leading you from starters, through mains to desserts, each selection is accompanied by its recommended choice of wine.

Opened in May 2007, it was awarded 5 stars by Time Out and in March 2008 won 'Best Bar in Britain" in The Observer Food Monthly Awards.
