It’s A (Neon) Sign! 10 Places To See The Lights

2nd April 2019 | By Lottie Hulme

Neon just makes everything look so much sexier doesn’t it?! Neon was discovered in 1898 by the British scientists Willian Ramsay and Morris W. Travers (give a point to us Brits), and since it’s become increasingly popular, especially with the advent of Insta and the ability to grab a snap posing next to the signs. Neon signage was in fact an important cultural phenomenon in the United States, which is why we see neon whizzing about on billboards and in busy city scapes.

There’s no denying that we love neon, and if you slap any word up on the wall and in neon it’ll be enticing, no matter its meaning. So, we had a lightbulb moment and decided to scope out all of the London eateries/ bars/ cafes championing neon signage…

The Drunken Oyster

Imagine a drunk oyster – what a thought! Like its namesake this bar is a real whacky mix of neon lights and head-spinning cocktails and even features an oyster downing a martini in neon… just as we thought we’d seen it all!

Where: 2, Sir Simon Milton Square, Westminster, SW1E 5DJ
