10 pink places in London you might not know about
Aug 25Here at Martha Brook, it’s certainly no secret that we have a thing for all things pink! If you’ve been here on our blog before, you’ll know about Martha’s pink door transformation and if you follow us on social media, you’ll see we’re pretty much experts in our favourite hue. With London being our hometown, we love nothing more than exploring this incredible city and finding all the best pink places. To celebrate the bank holiday weekend, we thought we’d round up the less obvious pink places in London you might not know about and tell you just and how you can find them.
1. Dyce London
Eye-catching and trendy, you cannot miss Dyce in Marylebone if you’re after a sweet treat! A new find for us and based down the upbeat James Street, take a wander and marvel at all the quirky shops and restaurants and colourful facades. We can guarantee you won’t be able to miss Dyce, one of the pinkest of all the pink places in London!

Think pink pods, a melting ice cream floor and pastel colours all round… heaven!
2. Ennismore Garden Mews

Connecting to other mews as well, Ennismore Garden Mews features the most perfect pink house – we can only dream!
3. How Matcha

From the walls to the cups, to the cutlery, everything here is a gorgeous shade of our favourite brand colour and it gets better…they specialise in one of our favourite anti-oxidants – Matcha! New to Marylebone, head down for a stroll through Blandford Street and find How Matcha for a little lunch time jaunt and be the first to discover the newest of these pink places in London.
