Beach Blanket Babylon - London W11
Located in residential Notting Hill and set in an attractive lane full of specialist shops and bars, Beach Blanket Babylon (BBB) provides an exotic location. The unmistakable signature interior flaunts its eye-catching modern baroque style.
Almost everything at BBB seems to have been specially made or specially chosen but despite the range of influences, the place has a distinct and coherent personality. Here light from fireplaces and candelabras glimmers golden on the bar, or eye-catching Trencadi mosaic is set off by sensuous seventeenth century furniture, marble floors and bonsai trees. Tall French windows look onto a small drinks terrace and surrounding local architecture. The attention that has been paid to tiled surfaces, gilt edges and elaborate floral displays and to every candle-lit corner of the dining area is matched by the invention and quality of the menu. BBB even boasts its own range (‘La Valliere’) of appropriately lavish-looking vintage costume jewellery which visitors can browse or buy. BBB also has a sense of humour – a close look at the walls in the bar and the lavatories reveals ornately framed aristocratic portraiture some of it cheekily erotic.
