EL&N Café is officially one of the most Instagrammable cafés in the world and they have multiple different venues all over in London. Each one has its own unique interior and signature feature. EL&N Café Wardour street has a unique electrifying neon theme.
EL&N Café’s Wardour Street venue has an eccentric arcade-themed interior. If you walk through the purple neon arches, you’ll find yourself in a huge mirror room decorated with arcade-inspired neon signs and a playable pink motorcycle.
The mirrored walls and the ceiling with the neon grid create a sense of infinity. The atmosphere sucks you in, you’ll feel like you’re in another dimension.

There are more neon signs and arcade games under the arches along with an old school jukebox to pose with for your Insta.
The Menu

The menu is just as colourful and quirky as the interior itself.
They have speciality lattes. ‘Matcha Rose Latte’ looks absolutely amazing with its bright pink and green colours, while the ‘Mango Matcha Ice Latte’ is a super Instagrammable tricolour drink.
The mocktails are so beautifully presented, it’s a real challenge to decide which one to order. You just want to have them all.
We tried the ‘Ombré Passion Fruit’ mocktail which is a refreshing mixture of Butterfly Pea flower tea, mango, passion fruit, honey, and lemonade. It goes perfectly well with the pink and purple interior.

Ready for your next adventure? If you haven’t done so, make sure you visit The Clink Prison Museum this spooky season. The Clink is one of England’s oldest prisons (and one of the most hunted too) and they do regular ghost tours for under £10pp.
Carousel horses, Love Heart wall, flower wall, candy wall, cake and coffee specialities. Welcome to EL&N Café where even the floor is Instagrammable. Watch videos here.
EL&N café has been chosen as one of the most Instagrammable cafés in the world. They have and has 7 pink locations (another one coming soon on Carnaby Street) and I visited most of them. Here are my experiences.
Travel in Style – St Pancras International
EL&N Café opened their latest shop at St Pancras this Summer. Originally, the grand opening was scheduled to the middle of March, but pandemic crossed their plans out, so the shop finally opened in July.
The shop is easy to find: it’s on the lower ground floor of the arcade. Click here to see map.
To be fit to its location, this is EL&N Café’s first self-service shop: you can grab your pink coffee and sandwich or cake and jump to your train.
The interior is around travel (what else). The siting area looks like a train cabin and there is an oh-so-Instagrammable photo corner with pink trucks, giant lollies, a pink poodle and a wall of keys.
There is also a section of pink water bottles, pink ceramic coffee cups and Spanish latte and cold brew in cans to purchase. From these, all profits go to the NHS.
Brompton Road – Knightsbridge
If you have a sweet tooth, this café is definitely for you. This shop’s theme is Candyland and has a pink pick & mix candy wall, giant bubble gum tape tables, a corner with plushies to pose with and a huge mirror.
I ordered a Black Magic latte and a pistachio & raspberry tart. Black Magic latte is actually not a coffee as it doesn’t contain coffee at all. Instead, it contains sparkling edible glitter that makes it totally Insta-worthy.
As for my cake…well, it was a piece of art and as yummy as it looks.
Hans Crescent – Knightsbridge
On entering the EL&N Knights Bridge shop pink carousel horses welcome us…and they are everywhere. They’re hanging from the ceiling and the wall, and if you’re fancy for a ride, you can actually sit on the one right in front of the entrance.
I was seated downstairs where two Love Heart Walls, several intimate pastel cubes and a “Coffee and friends the perfect blend” neon sign provided the perfect Instagram back drop.
I ordered a red velvet cake and a gorgeous golden latte. Golden latte is spiced with turmeric, that’s why the sparkling gold colour.
Market Place
“Adventure awaits but first coffee” This could be my slogan on those sleepy mornings when I get up early to skip the crowd and visit an extreme café, restaurant or event to write a blog about them for you (wink).
At Market Place I got charmed by a slice of red velvet cake (again) and a Black Forest Heart along with a ruby latte and a matcha latte. Ruby latte borrows its colour and flavour from beetroot extract which gives it an interesting taste in a positive way.
Regents Street – L’occitane
EL&N café’s Regens Street shop was a pop us shop during the Summer in 2019. So, it’s no longer there, but if you had a chance to visit it, you definitely won’t forget those life-sized pink giraffes.
I couldn’t help, I found myself addicted to ruby latte, so I enjoyed a smooth ruby latte at L’occitane again. I chose a table between one of the three feet tall pink flowery giraffes and a flower arch and enjoyed a view to Regents Street.
To boost visitor experience, EL&N X L’occitane had a flower wall and a quirky selfie studio with pink and red furry Teddy bears and colourful giant lollipops.
Given EL&N X L’occatine was a beauty café, apart from coffees and cakes, they sold a selection of exclusive beauty products too.
