A Story of Passion, Community & Connections
Sónia Cardante
Originally from the picturesque town of Viana do Castelo, just north of Porto, brings over 12 years of hospitality experience to the heart of Kensington Olympia. Having previously worked at The Crown and Sceptre for five years before its closure in late 2024, Sónia felt a deep connection to the space and its community. Now, she returns as co-founder, bringing with her not only a wealth of expertise but also her signature warmth, energy, and creative flair.
Simon Kevan
Complements the vision with a different but equally powerful background. With 25 years of experience in customer and employee engagement, Simon continues his work helping organisations create better cultures and experiences. But now, he’s also embracing a lifelong dream—combining his passions for beer,music, food, fashion, and fun into a dynamic, welcoming space that reflects the best of London living.
