Though the reign of Barbiecore may have come to an end, our love for the colour pink certainly has not.
It's the colour of Cherry Blossom, Cosmopolitans, rose quartz, Percy Pigs and plenty of other happiness-inducing things, and some of the most Instagrammable bars, cafes and restaurants in London also have perfectly pink interiors. Coincidence? I think not.
Whether you're nipping in for coffee and cake, or want a sit-down supper in the chicest of settings, we've found some of the most stunning spots in London for you to get a dose of pink.
Doña
Behind a sequin door in Stoke Newington, Doña is the ultimate pink party paradise in east London. From cabaret shows to DJ sets, it's the home of "empowered feminine energy," "independent creativity" and "music and mescal" - what more could one ask for? It's currently more of a bar that serves tacos, but its website says that the "winners of London’s Best Tacos are going to be making a home upstairs" so watch this space...
The Wallace
© The WallaceThe Wallace Collection's pink-walled French brasserie in Marylebone is set in a glass-roofed courtyard and sculpture garden, creating an airy ambience full of natural light. There's also a drop-in cafe and the option for afternoon tea, for you to get your pink fix however you please.
Elan Cafe
Elan cafes are recognised for their entirely pink interiors and are known as one of the most Instagrammable cafe chains in the world. Founder Alexandra Miller actually worked in luxury fashion before starting the Elan brand in 2017, so she knows a thing or two about aesthetics. From their iconic flower walls to plush pink chairs and even pink takeaway coffee cups, there are now 10 Elan's across London for you get some Insta-worthy content.
Joia
The latest eatery on the list, Joia's perfectly pink interiors are only rivalled by the views across London, thanks to its location on the 15th floor at the top of the new art ’otel in London Battersea Power Station, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows. Joia (meaning 'jewel' in Portuguese) is the first restaurant in London from two Michelin-starred Portuguese chef Henrique Sá Pessoa. If your inner Barbie is looking for a luxurious lunch or dinner, this is the place to go.
Peggy Porschen
As a cafe that was "built on Peggy’s love of a pink and pastel colour palette, modern romance, craftsmanship and exquisite tastes," Peggy Porschen's aesthetic doesn't stop at its interiors. Everything down to the decoration of the cakes help make this place seem like a fairytale. Their flagship cafe in Chelsea is the prettiest place for a coffee (and an Insta photo).
Mina's
Mina's is a family-run restaurant and bar in the heart of Belgravia, and the perfect pink place for laid-back vibes. Its food menu is focused on North Mediterranean plates which are served to share, and its head mixologist used to be a bartender at the illustrious Maison Estelle. The perfect combination if you ask us.
Annabel's
Realistically, Annabel's need little explanation, but you may not know the iconic private members club on Berkeley Street, Mayfair, has the most stunning room named 'The Flower Room'. The breathtakingly beautiful dining space is complete with walls of jewelled flowers, a crystal chandelier an an exquisite gilded mirror. If opulence is what you're after, no other place comes close, find a someone who's a member and make a reservation ASAP.
Mr Fogg's House of Botanicals
Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals in Fitzrovia truly is Instagram worthy. We love the upstairs hideaway - the Treehouse, which boasts high ceilings awash with finicky foliage and vintage style chandeliers. They've recently lauched a new bottomless brunch called 'Botanical Brunch' which includes brunch classics, sweet treats and bottomless, build your own botanical prosecco Bellinis.
Brasserie of Light
Granted, the actual restaurant isn't pink, but the bathrooms, designed by architect Martin Brudnizki, are what dreams are made of. Located inside Selfridges on Oxford Street, the luxury eatery boasts stunning Art Deco interiors including Pegasus - a 24ft, crystal-encrusted Damien Hirst sculpture. Brudnizki said in an interview: "Just because you’re going to the bathroom doesn’t mean it needn’t be a chic experience!" we couldn't agree more.
