Flaunting beautiful shades of peach, rose and other pastel colours, JOIA Restaurant, Bar & Rooftop is London's pink restaurant that's as stunning as it is mesmerising, thanks to its sky-high views. You'll find it located in the heart of Battersea, sporting plush furnishings and modern interiors designed by Russel Sage Studio.
This gorgeous venue slings out scrumptious Portuguese plates courtesy of Henrique Sá Pessoa - think Iberico ham or salted cod, followed by Basque cheesecake for dessert. It's the perfect choice for swanky date nights and birthday dinners, and you're bound to adore the signature cocktail list. Our pick? The Rubi, made with Absolut Elyx, hibiscus verdejo and strawberry, is a real winner.
JOIA is an Instagram-worthy gem south of the river.
Tonight Josephine

The wife of Napoleon and France’s first official empress, Josephine de Beauharnais was a woman not to be trifled with. Inspired by her bad-ass attitude, Tonight Josephine is a pink bar in London, decked out with neon signs dedicated to female empowerment and a shiny, reflective dancefloor.
Plus, this sassy queen also has outposts in Clapham, Waterloo and Shoreditch where you can enjoy a great night out with your friends, enjoying drinks like the refreshing London Lady or a divine espresso martini. If bottomless brunches are your thing, you'll be thrilled to find this den hosts raucus, themed affairs ranging from Mamma Mia-inspired parties to cowboy throwdowns.

The Little Violet Door
- Where: 9 Kingly Street, Carnaby, W1B 5PH
Tucked away in the heart of Carnaby, The Little Violet Door is a quirky bar that's modelled on a fictional flat share. It boasts velvet sofas, a disco kitchen and even a laundry room - once you're finished taking Instagram-worthy pictures in the pastel-coloured bathroom, make your way downstairs and hit the retro games room, equipped with a super nostalgic collection.
On the menu, you'll find signature sips that are, aesthetically, next level. The La La Land is served in a milk bottle with a rainbow strip, and the strawberries and cream vodka-based Crimes of Passion comes with its very own toasted marshmallow.
Looks like the set of Friends got given the Barbie treatment.
Mina’s
- Where: 20 Motcomb Street, SW1X 8LB
If you’re on the hunt for a pink restaurant, London's Mina’s is a bit of a no-brainer. Located in Knightsbridge, the venue showcases terracotta interiors, complete with beautiful foliage and abstract artwork.
Get stuck into the most delicious European Mediterranean dishes such as juicy 'nduja meatballs and bowls of harissa prawn linguine, and pair them with a bespoke tipple or two. Our favourites include the Picante de Mina, made with spicy mango, and the Truffle Negroni, because why not.
You'll be tickled pink at this London haunt.
EL&N London
- Where: UK-wide
With several locations across the capital and the UK, EL&N Café is a gorgeous coffee and brunch destination. Frequently named as one of the city's most Instagrammable spots, this stunner's floral arrangements could give the Chelsea Flower Show a good run for their money.
And for those dedicated to getting their rose gold fix? There’s a selection of blush-tinged lattes and moreish slices of red velvet cake on offer. Sip on matcha rose or pistachio Spanish affairs, all before tucking into San Sebastian cheesecakes and brownies.

Among neon lights aplenty, these stunners have a roster of cool
events to check out including their ABBA-themed bottomless brunch. You can look

brilliant menu and plenty of drag entertainment, dance-offs and
sing-alongs.

It's not just a pretty face though - founded by Rik Campbell and Will Bowlby, it dishes up modern Indian plates. Our top picks? It has to be the bhel puri with coriander chutney, Keralan fried chicken, and date and pistachio kulcha.
Pink drinks under a railway arch? Yes, please.

Annabel's
- Where: 46 Berkeley Square, W1J 5AT
Back in 1963, the legendary Mark Birley unveiled the original Annabel's, a haven of glamour and exclusivity tucked beneath Berkeley Square. He named it after his then-wife, Lady Annabel Vane-Tempest-Stewart - who later made headlines of her own by marrying billionaire tycoon James Goldsmith.
Oozing sophistication, it's the Mayfair private members' club with perhaps the prettiest loos in the city. As it features hundreds of hand-blown Venetian glass petals (a bathroom essential, surely) and gorgeous crystal pink fittings, you’d be forgiven for forgoing the world-class a la carte menu and camping out in the ladies’ instead.
This hangout is serving up some serious #bathroomgoals.

The Coral Room

Step into The Coral Room, a 1920s grand salon bar that’s as dazzling as its name suggests and, most definitely, a shade of pink. Nestled in the heart of Bloomsbury, this vibrant, Art Deco-inspired gem is a feast for the senses, from its striking coral-hued walls - brought to life by the vision of Martin Brudnizki Design Studio - to the 56 bespoke illustrations by Luke Edward Hall that add an extra touch of playful elegance.
Whether you’re indulging in a leisurely afternoon tea, sipping on expertly crafted cocktails, or exploring the world’s longest list of English sparkling wines (yes, really), it's the ultimate escape from London’s fast-paced streets.
If you're into pretty places, check out its neighbour, Dalloway Terrace, next door.
YOPO Bar
- Where: 20-21 Newman Street, W1T 1PG
Sometimes, only quirky decor will do and that's where YOPO Bar comes in. Helmed by Rami Fustok, the visionary behind The Mandrake (where the bar's located), this reimagined space is a world away from the main dining area's subdued elegance - think punk pink walls, bold textures, and an explosion of eclectic design.
Global treasures fill the room, each piece of furniture and artwork telling its own story, but it’s Marco Tullio Siviglia’s mesmerising ceiling sculpture that steals the show. Beneath, you can sip expertly crafted mezcal cocktails, like the Oaxaca, featuring Ojo de Dios Café mezcal and homemade hazelnut liqueur.
YOPO Bar is truly a moment for the mezcal lovers.
House 21
- Where: 20 Portman Square, W1H 6LW
House 21 at Home House is where eccentric characters and flamboyant misfits don’t just belong; they thrive. This reinvented space masterfully blends 18th-century Georgian grandeur with a bold, 21st-century twist, inspired by the notoriously lavish parties that once sent shockwaves through high society.
Whether you're sipping a meticulously crafted cocktail against a gentle pink backdrop or dancing beneath chandeliers that have seen centuries of revelry, one thing’s for sure - this is where the fun-loving, the fearless, and the fabulously unconventional come out to play.
Feels like home: this private members club is easy on the eye.
EllaMia
- Where: 45 St Martin's Lane, WC2N 4HX
By day, EllaMia is a chic, pink sanctuary for coffee lovers - a place to indulge in sophisticated brews, colourful lattes, and an irresistible selection of sweet and savoury delights. But as the London sun dips below the skyline, this Covent Garden gem transforms. The lights soften, the candles flicker, and a carefully curated soundtrack sets the mood for a more elevated evening affair.
Cakes become canapés, tea turns to martinis, and sparkling water makes way for sparkling wine. This isn’t just a coffee shop; it’s an experience that seamlessly blends the laid-back glamour of Los Angeles' craft coffee culture with the vibrant energy of St Martins Lane Hotel.
A slice of cake or cocktail? At EllaMia, you don't have to choose.
The Wallace Collection Cafe
- Where: Hertford House, Manchester Square, W1U 3BN
Tucked away within one of London’s most treasured museums, The Wallace Collection Café offers a moment of indulgence amid centuries of artistic mastery. Housed in a stunning glass-roofed courtyard with pastel pink walls and sweeping indoor trees, this elegant spot is the perfect place to pause and soak in the grandeur of the 18th and 19th-century collection that surrounds it.
Stop by for a light bite or settle in for a leisurely afternoon tea and enjoy delicate finger sandwiches, exquisite pastries, freshly baked scones and, of course, a glass of Champagne for that extra touch of opulence.
This museum pairs history with hues of pink.
