“Did you even go to STK without a photo?” asks one Instagram user after her recent visit to STK. She is right too – the central London restaurant is a place not only to see and be seen, but also to snap a cool pic of yourself and share it with the Instaverse.

The minute you arrive, it is easy to see why STK has become such a popular social media backdrop. All jutting polished steel and pink neon lights, it looks like it has been constructed from the off-cuts of a swanky guest-list-only nightclub. Perhaps because of the décor, the crowd at STK are all dressed to the nines in their finest shirts, skinny jeans and skimpy cocktail dresses.
