Love it or hate it, pink is Instagram's favourite colour. Here I show you 5 of London's pink-est - and hence most instagrammable, places. You're welcome ;)
1. sketch
No pink pilgrimage to London is complete without visiting this curious afternoon tea establishment. It'll set you back £59 per person, but it is worth every penny. sketch consists of 5 different themed restaurants and bars, but we chose to sit at the Gallery for afternoon tea - for obvious reasons. A step into the lush pink dining space affirms that this is the most instagrammable restaurant I have ever visited. Before you leave, don't forget to visit their super cute egg-shaped toilet cubicles!

Yummy cakes and tea - you get to choose as many varieties of tea as you wish to try!
The tableware is designed by British artist David Shirley, whose tongue-in-cheek paintings also line the walls of the Gallery.
Isn't this place just the cutest! On the right is a picture of the weirdest toilets I've ever used...
If, for example, pink were not your thing, you could also take afternoon tea at the Glade - which looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland.
2. Columbia Road Flower Market
Every Sunday, Columbia Road plays host to the city's prettiest and best-smelling market. The market is bursting with flowers of every colour of the rainbow, and they are all very reasonably priced. I couldn't resist buying a bouquet of strawflowers - they dry really well and in fact I still have them with me in Singapore!
When you're done, stop by the pretty and pink Lily Vanilli Bakery for sweet treat, then walk around Shoreditch - flowers in tow - for a sneaky little #ootd ;)

So many flowers! My boyfriend had to restrain me from buying the pink hydrangeas - they are sooooo pretty, and at just £5 ugh! Too bad I had a plane to catch the next day :(
Took a break from walking at the Lily Vanilli Bakery - the pink interiors are so cute, and their key lime tart and raspberry cupcake were both very yummy!
And the sneaky little #ootd ;)
3. Sky Garden
Perched atop the Walkie Talkie building is London's highest public garden, and you'd be glad to know that the Sky Garden is awash in pink hues every evening.
I'm not usually one for observation decks - I usually find them one and the same, but I definitely enjoyed my evening here. Not only is access free of charge, the views are great and I thought the garden was a pretty interesting concept. There's also a bar so we bought drinks to enjoy the glittering skyline with. I think the daytime views would be lovely too, and I heard they occassionally hold sunrise yoga!

One of the many beautiful views you can get from the Sky Garden
4. Palm Vaults
This cafe in Hackney was definitely created for the 'gram - pink interiors, pink food, palm prints, hanging plants, you name it, she got it. The food was also very good. We had the rose latte, banana smoothie, avo smash and the banana bread.

Even the glasses are pink!
5. Pretty houses in Chelsea
You must have seen these on Instagram by now... Oh my please one day when I am rich I'd love to stay in that pink house along Bywater Street... if not just a pink door would be sufficient too...
There we have it! 5 pretty pink places to explore in London. Now go forth and conquer, Pink Ranger!

A former gentleman's club with a grand facade, the building became the Hyde Park Hotel in 1902 and has since hosted the wealthy, famous and glamorous. In early 2019 the hotel was fully reopened after a thorough renovation, so there's still an aura of freshness and novelty about the decor.
