As we approach the year anniversary of the opening of Seed Library in London, we talk to Ryan Chetiyawardana (Mr Lyan) about the bar and where it sits not only in the Lyan family but also in the industry landscape.

A mix of science and nature (with a bit of Rave culture thrown in for good measure), the basement bar encapsulates the post-pandemic acceleration of ideas and learning.

Approachable but purposefully trying to look at the liquids differently, Seed Library has a very East London aesthetic, which Chetiyawardana describes as a place where learning and connecting are paramount.
