Beach Blanket Babylon

Notting Hill drink and display institution is more often than not referred to as BBB by enamoured locals and Euros alike. Fabulous Old Georgian mansion house with outrageously OTT mix of baroque opulence meets French country style: modern day fairytale of candle-lit vaulted basements with chain-hung bridges and open fires. Restaurant and bar, but food offering for serious eaters is tragic, so stick to what BBB does best, XVIIIth Century décor drama, decadent cocktails, and deep pocketed people gazing. Cocktails and wine list are rather realistic and equally pleasing to the eye.
