16 best floral restaurants in London that are pretty as a picture

Londoners certainly aren’t short of Instagrammable places to eat in the capital. From restored listed buildings to vintage cocktail bars and totally OTT dining rooms, London’s best restaurants are a truly beautiful bunch. In fact, your camera eats out as much as you do these days! But one particular trend to capture the attention of snap-happy diners is the fashion for floral restaurants.

Some might argue that we eat with our eyes as much as our taste buds, and to that we’d say, you’re probably right. It’s one of the reasons that decor has become as important as the dishes at eateries. Plus, more people are turning towards Instagram and Tik Tok for inspiration when it comes to where to eat.

If you are one such person, you're probably already aware of the trend for floral restaurants in London. Although many places transform especially for spring, there are a wealth of restaurants that don stunning florals and lush foliage all year round. We can see the appeal. If you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary, then a floral restaurant is a surefire way to guarantee flawless photos. To help you out, we've even included restaurants which have a selection of private and group dining options, so you can celebrate in style.

So, whether you’re pining after pastel-hued florals or wisteria-draped ceilings, we’ve rounded up all of London’s best floral restaurants. And while we kind of hate the word Instagrammable, these spots really are picture-perfect in every way. Bring your camera (and maybe a ring light) and head over to one of these absolute stunners. 

Drunch, Fitzrovia

What: With its eye-catching floral arch greeting guests at the door, Drunch is a feel-good all-day dining spot just a short walk from Oxford Circus. Inside the floral theme continues with a beautiful orange display hitched to the ceiling. We can't think of a more aesthetic spot in London to enjoy a few of its generous brunch dishes. Think pistachio and maple syrup French toast, and eggs any way you can imagine. By evening, the team swaps brunch for vibrant sharing plates - still with plenty of feel-good factor intact - from indulgent burgers to superfood salads.
