Filming Location and Refurbishment

A sign teases 'something special' at the former Cote Brasserie site, with work underway.
The Flask Walk site has also served as a filming location. It featured in the recent movie 'Bridget Jones Mad About The Boy', appearing on a date scene, and also played a role in the Ricky Gervais television series 'Afterlife'. The closure of La Cage Imaginaire occurred in November 2025. Following its closure, the premises underwent a refurbishment that spanned more than six months.
The interior of Milah has been redecorated with Venetian polished plaster, antique mirrored walls, a custom bar made from hardwood and marble, matching marble tables, and new LED lighting. This transformation has introduced a Moroccan theme to the space.
