Colourful London suggestions

[Whatliesbeneath707]

A few of us are going to London next week. We’ve been before & done all the usual sights. We have some shopping we want to do it also we want to see the colourful places London has to offer. We have Liberty & Neals Yard on the list. Where else is nice & colourful please?
Also looking for somewhere traditional for lunch, maybe afternoon tea? Any suggestions please?
Thanks.

What makes a place colourful? Literal colours or something metaphorical?

For a trad lunch, I'd try Rules

All the big name grand hotels do lovely afternoon teas

If you’re off to Liberty, walk down Carnaby st - lights are lovely.

All of those plus Fortnum and Masons usually has a lovely afternoon tea.

Make sure you book in advance for your lunch. Not many places are taking walk ins. Be prepared to show a COVID Passport.

Sketch does a great afternoon tea.

Notting Hill?

If you want to see lovely lights go to New Bond Street, South Molton Street, Grosvenor Square, Berkeley Square, Carnaby Street - you can do a walk around them all in less than an hour and take in Oxford St and Regent St on the way through if you want.

Oh thanks everyone. Great ideas.
We just want to see nice, pretty things like lovely shops/buildings or streets that are decorated nicely for Christmas.
I will make a list.

In that case do the walk I suggested - you'll see Annabels at Berkeley Square which is amazing this year, Grosvnor Square is lit up with thousands of LED flowers, Cartier on New Bond St looks fab. Also Fortnum and Mason is lit up like an advent calender. Seven Dials is always spectacular at Christmas and Covent Garden is next to that.
