Those famous egg-shaped toilets

Sketch is probably one of the most iconic London foodie spots you might've spotted on Instagram, and it's all thanks to those egg-shaped toilets, even Kylie Jenner had a mirror snap with them. But aside from the toilets, the interior is also pretty spectacular with a stand-out design and elegant pink gallery room. It's an artistic dream here, and it really isn't hard to see why people flock here mostly for the pictures.

Naked Soho

London's first sex-positive restaurant

This recent addition celebrates the body and sexuality in seriously NSFW surroundings, from the willies and fannies decorating the walls to the punny menu and the naughty plate arrangements. A plate of pasta with a ceramic dong sticking out of it is sure to get your comment section going, not to mention snapping a selfie with your crew in front of a wall o’ vulvas.

Shiro

Crystal sushi

Sushi by itself is already pretty photogenic, with the delicately crafted rolls certain to catch the eye of the bescroller.

Blanketing the classic sushi rolls with layers of flavoured jelly, the resulting dish not only tastes unique, it's also sure to give pause to even the most hardened Instagram foodie.
