Established in 1874, the restaurant was the grandest establishment of its kind in London and held a unique position in London social life. Many of its facilities were available for private hire, with the King's Hall capable of accommodating 500 diners. The room is described as the 'Home of Golf, Hockey and Tennis clubs holding Annual Reunions'. The restaurant operated until 1954. It was demolished in 1955.

The collection was formed by Nathan Dunn a Philadelphia-born China Trade merchant, and was first exhibited in the city in 1839. A report of the exhibition states: 'What increases the interest of the scene is a young Chinese, in full costume, who walks around the hall in full costume explaining the exhibits to the visitors in a most amiable manner that shows he is gratified in being useful'. No doubt this is Chun Ah-You, who accompanied the exhibition to London in 1841. The exhibition was initially exhibited in Hyde Park in a special pagoda, and was open to the public from April to June 1842. After some repairs to the lanterns which were now lit by gas, the exhibition re-opened in November 1843 until the end of the year. The collection then returned to the United States following Dunn's death in 1844, and later returned to England again in 1851 for the Great Exhibition. On 10 December 1851 Christie's auctioned 'The Celebrated Assemblage...collected by the late Nathan Dunn'
