Overview
Bringing together social entrepreneurs, investors, creatives,
business leaders, policy-makers and civil society,
The Conduit acts as a catalytic platform for individuals tackling
some of the most pressing challenges facing us today.
Our members share the belief that the world’s most
significant problems can be viewed as opportunities for
entrepreneurial solutions, and that knowledge, skills,
technology and capital can lead to transformative impact.
Our building has been designed to nurture creativity, innovation
and entrepreneurship. The Conduit’s Programme will showcase
solutions and engender a better understanding of the trends,
opportunities and geo-political forces shaping our world.
Our Mission

The Conduit inhabits an 8 floor neoclassical building in
the heart of London. Our location has a noted history
that resonates with our current purpose.
Conduit Street derived its name from the pipes, laid in
1236, that carried water from sources in Hyde Park
through the “Conduit Meadows” to supply the city.
Our street has played a historical role in facilitating life
and commerce and we hope to continue this tradition
by nurturing and sustaining London’s growth.
A historic location in the heart of London built with passion, purpose, and perspective.

ROOFTOP & TERRACE
The top floor of The Conduit has
been transformed into a spacious
bar and landscaped terrace
featuring an original outdoor
fireplace. Interior and exterior
spaces flow seamlessly together
and large arched windows let
the light flood in for members
to enjoy unbeatable views.
LIBRARY & WORKSPACE*
Members can enjoy the 5th floor
work areas and extensive library
which houses over 1,200 books
related to politics, philosophy,
economics, history and the
environment. The library will

people. The 4th floor provides
additional informal work
and collaboration space.
THE RESTAURANT & BAR
The restaurant on the 4th floor will
be headed up by Michelin starred
chef Merlin Labron-Johnson
and is the home of our guest
chef programme, introducing
members to the most talented
chefs in the UK and beyond. The
dining room will consist of an
open kitchen that serves refined
menus dedicated to sustainably
sourced ingredients paired
with an extensive collection of
organic and biodynamic wines.

Our culinary program will source and present exceptional
food with a deep commitment to sustainability.
Working with the Sustainable Restaurant Association we have
identified small-scale farmers, fishermen and specialist
producers predominately within the British Isles.
The Conduit aims to minimise the use of plastic and is
committed to reducing waste across the board.
Food and drink at The Conduit are a natural extension of our sustainable approach

THE RESTAURANT
We are delighted to announce
that Merlin Labron-Johnson
will be the Executive Chef
of our 4th floor restaurant.
One of the youngest chefs to
receive a Michelin star for his
imaginative, modern cooking,
Merlin shares our passion for
sourcing and sustainability and
is creating a menu that is refined
and produce-driven. Merlin is
currently devoting personal
time to cooking at the Refettorio
Felix centre for the homeless,
and contributing to the Chef’s
Manifesto in support of the UN’s
sustainable development goals.
SUSTAINABLE SOURCES
The Conduit is working closely with
the Sustainable Restaurant
Association to ensure that we
adhere to the most rigorous
sustainability practices –
whether it’s the seafood certified
by the Marine Stewardship
Council sourced from
renewable stocks that sustain
the marine environment, or
the coffee we serve from small
producers in South America.
GUEST CHEFS
The Conduit’s guest chef program
will feature at least four
prominent chefs per year. Our
first guest chef will be Massimo
Bottura, one of the world’s most
creative and socially responsible
culinary figures. In September
2018, he will be serving members
and their guests a menu from the
acclaimed Osteria Francescana
in Modena. Massimo is
committed to addressing the
issues of food waste and hunger;
together with his non-profit
organisation Food for Soul,
he founded Refettorio Felix at
St Cuthbert’s, the community
kitchen that uses surplus
ingredients to create meals for
those living in socially vulnerable
conditions. Part of the proceeds
from his residency at The
Conduit will go to Food for Soul.
FOOD PHILOSOPHY
Our talks series will highlight
topics ranging from nutritional
neuroscience to restaurants
as a force for good, and we are
establishing training workshops
with international partners
such as Gastromotiva, who
use the power of education,
food and gastronomy as social
change agents. We will bring
businesses and changemakers
together around key issues
of sustainability, and host
wine tastings from unusual
vineyards, artisan masterclasses
and round-table discussions
with food professionals.
DRINKS AND DISTILLERIES
We are embracing the original
and experimental in our drinks
program. Working a diverse
selection of producers we will
stock everything from organic
and biodynamic wine to small
batch distilleries to elegant
vintage spirits. Using these
specialised products, our bar
team are creating innovative
wine lists and drinks menus to be
enjoyed throughout The Conduit.
