There are two types of diners in London: those who read the menu before arriving, and those who Google the interiors. If you’re the second type, this list is made for you. We’ve curated London’s most stunning, photo-worthy restaurant interiors of 2025 — where the aesthetics are as appetising as the food.
1. Wildflowers – Belgravia
Chic, pastel-toned, and full of character.
Nestled in Belgravia’s historic Newson’s Yard – a repurposed timber yard now home to some of London’s best design studios – Wildflowers is a study in elegant restraint. Designed by Laura Hart with Studio Found, the interiors feature textured walls, timber accents, and scattered fresh-cut wildflowers. The space feels like your most stylish friend’s living room. The open kitchen adds to the casual intimacy, and the menu, led by chef-owner Aaron Potter, offers elegant Mediterranean simplicity with seasonal British produce.
2. Bacchanalia – Mayfair
Mythical drama meets maximalist luxury.
Bacchanalia is the extravagant lovechild of Richard Caring and interior maestro Martin Brudnizki. With toga-clad staff, Damien Hirst sculptures of unicorns and Bacchus, and 2,000-year-old statues coexisting in theatrical harmony, it’s more ancient wonderland than restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling murals reinterpret 19th-century artworks, while the women’s restroom is its own immersive art experience.
3. Bar Douro – Finsbury Square
Rustic charm, Portuguese soul.
Bar Douro channels the nostalgic spirit of Portugal with handcrafted blue-and-white azulejo tiles, low-slung ceilings, and rustic wooden textures. The open kitchen invites guests into the heart of the action. The menu sings with flavour: batatas à murro, sizzling gambas, and heritage wines selected by founder Max Graham, whose family has deep Portuguese winemaking roots.
4. Tattu – Tottenham Court Road
Modern Chinese opulence redefined.
Tattu is where high-concept dining meets modern Chinese design. Joyce Wang’s vision transforms the space into a luxurious reinterpretation of a Chinese courtyard. Subtle lantern lighting, Ming vases, custom cherry blossom installations and leopard-print seating come together to create an immersive experience. Take the lift up, and prepare for drama.
5. Sessions Art Club – Clerkenwell
Where history and creativity intertwine.
Housed in a restored 18th-century courthouse once visited by Dickens, Sessions Art Club is both a cultural and culinary destination. Designed with SODA Studio and Sätila, the space combines peeling plaster walls, velvet seating, antique chandeliers and lush greenery. Every corner tells a story, whether you’re enjoying modern British dishes or simply basking in the timeless surroundings.
6. Sketch – Mayfair
The artistic playground of Mayfair.
Sketch is where fine dining meets visual spectacle. With interiors curated by India Mahdavi and artworks from icons like Tracey Emin and Yinka Shonibare, this restaurant constantly reinvents itself. The Gallery room, once famously pink, now glows with golden yellow — a bold, trend-setting transformation.
7. The Red Room – Mayfair
A hidden art gem inside The Connaught.
Velvety red curtains part to reveal a curated gallery-bar glowing with red-hued artworks by renowned female artists — including a never-before-seen piece by Louise Bourgeois. Designed by Bryan O’Sullivan, the pink onyx bar, marble fireplace, and sculptural lighting make this spot ideal for art lovers and design influencers.
Address: The Connaught, Carlos Pl, London W1K 2AL
8. Beaverbrook Town House – Chelsea
Bold maximalism meets vintage Japanese art.
Sir Frank’s Bar brings together chequered floors, minty green walls, and an eclectic mix of 19th-century prints. Nicola Harding’s bold interiors make it one of Chelsea’s most talked-about destinations.
Address: 115-116 Sloane St, London SW1X 9PJ
9. Ave Mario – Covent Garden
A flamboyant Italian dream.
Step into a mirrored carnival with over 3,500 bottles lining the bar, striped psychedelic walls, and red inspired by the Pope’s slippers. Studio Kiki’s theatrical design makes it a favourite for TikTok and Instagram content creators.
Address: 15 Henrietta St, London WC2E 8QG
10. Ottolenghi Chelsea
Minimalism with a Mediterranean glow.
Ottolenghi’s latest deli in Chelsea features curved pastel-orange walls and a crushed-brick floor. Designed by Alex Meitlis, the space balances artistic flair with understated calm — perfect for brunch lovers and clean design fans.
Address: 261 Pavilion Rd, London SW1X 0BP
11. Maison Francois – St James’s
Bold architecture, brasserie elegance.
With terracotta arches, minimalist lighting, and a nod to Ricardo Bofill’s geometry, Maison Francois is both chic and cinematic. A dream for fans of Wes Anderson aesthetics.
Address: 34 Duke St, St. James’s, London SW1Y 6DF
12. Silo – Hackney Wick
Zero waste, total design harmony.
As the world’s first zero-waste restaurant, Silo’s interiors reflect its ethos. Upcycled plastics, recycled leather, and crushed wine-bottle lights combine sustainability with modern industrial design.
Address: Unit 7 Queen’s Yard, London E9 5EN
13. Spring – Temple
Soft textures and poetic light.
Nestled in Somerset House, Spring features blush fabrics, floating chandeliers and an art installation of porcelain petals by Valeria Nascimento. Despite the grandeur, the space feels delicately personal.
Address: Somerset House, Lancaster Pl, London WC2R 1LA
