Ghillies

Laid back and friendly, Ghillies in Parsons Green is a mix of assorted area hipsters and trophy flatmates. A newly refurbished room uses warm reds and rich woods to offer a great atmosphere to get together with your nearest and dearest.

Charming staff and lots of regulars. Can get busy and a little raucous towards the end. Dig into a vast array of wonderful, fusion tapas dishes built to share, though occasionally they're too good to pass around.

A generational mix provides atmosphere even when quiet. It's dark wooden interior is ornate and has a classic Edwardian front half which maintains a vibrant feel. The popular Young's bitter is excellent and reasonably priced for the capital.
