Light therapy: Bar offers its patrons a ray of sunshine

The space will be lit by lamps normally used to treat seasonal affective disorder, a depressive condition that strikes most commonly in the winter. Carom is touting the effect as an antidote to the ‘unpredictable British weather’.

In addition to the lamps, The Glasshouse is offering a sunshine-themed cocktail menu, with drinks such as Grape Julep that contain Vitamin D. The space will be decorated with tropical vegetation.
