South London Pacific is a hyper-kitsch sensory rollercoaster with not a trace of the irony that underpins so many other similar venues in London.

By no stretch of the imagination does the Hawaiian theme stop with an umbrella in a pina colada. In fact, if your natural habitat is more like Antarctica (expensive to go to, boring and very white) the place might prove a little much.

The variety of nights ranges from Elvis impersonators to Burlesque dancers, Hula shows to 1950s discos. Most of all it's just a pleasure to behold regardless of the season our own little island decides to bestow on us.
