Palms, exotic wallpaper and golden pineapples galore.  The whole space feels like you’ve stepped into a luxe beach shack somewhere in Borneo, plus there are enough feathered friends dotted around the place to make you feel like you’re in a rainforest.  It’s intimate, low-lit, with an emphasis on peacock-blues, emerald greens and shimmering gold. 

The cocktails are as creative as they are instagrammable. We drank concoctions from a glass bird, a monkey’s head, and a glass hidden inside a Russian doll.  Just don't try and steal the glasware, ok? The bar itself is also a thing of beauty so slide onto a bar stool and get stuck in.  If you're lucky they'll have live music on so check on their website before booking in that seal-the-deal date. 

It won’t surprise you to learn there’s a celeb face behind The Parrot - Idris Elba of Luther fame is part-owner. The A-List fun doesn’t stop there, though. The Parrot is the first bar in London to offer its own chauffeur-driven car. That’s right - there’s a branded Aston Martin ready to transport guests to and from the venue.

Excessive? Sure. Badass? Defiitely.
