Trendy converted Georgian Townhouse 86, a bar and restaurant along Fulham Rd, home to many of Ch4’s Made in Chelsea posse, has purchased some semi-risqué artwork to hang on the first floor walls by award-winning and renowned photographer Bob Carlos Clarke.

Perhaps more eye-candy for the boys, the photography features women in various forms of black leather –sometimes partly morphed into animal parts like fins in striking black and white prints. They’ve chosen the less provocative of the bunch though...more of his prints and advertising campaigns can be seen at

The prints are collectors’ items given that Bob Carlos Clarke sadly passed away in 2006. A few more are on display at the Little Black Gallery.
86 also has a fantastic collection of Charlotte Cory works in the restaurant on the first floor which play with Victorian images from calling cards and post-darwinian 19th century animals. A personal favourite of mine.

Worth a visit at any rate if not for the art, to enjoy drinks from the inspiring wine list or dishes from Mark Broadbent's menu. Oh and there's also a private room for events BTW.

Thanks for the tip. Is it possible to buy the prints and what's the price range?
