"Are you even a Londoner if you’ve never been to a friend’s cousin’s birthday party at Pergola? Yes, undoubtedly you’ve probably been to this huge outdoor booze palace at some point to celebrate someone, drink something, and stare in the bathroom mirror wondering quite how you managed to get this pissed by 4pm. The cynics among us might dismiss this sprawling foliage-packed bar as a little basic, but realistically you can’t beat its particular brand of feel-good vacation hype for a big group hang. The frosé slushies don’t hurt either." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
