In 1921 the English architect, William Curtis Green, was commissioned by Wolseley Motors Limited to design a prestigious car showroom at the site of 160 Piccadilly. The car company went bust.The building then became a branch of Barclays Bank. It was in July 2003 that restaurateurs Chris Corbin and Jeremy King came to acquire the building.

Marie Antoinette was guillotined at 12:15 p.m. on 16 October 1793. The phrase "Let them eat cake" is often attributed to Marie Antoinette, but there is no evidence that she ever uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic cliché
