    VIBE

    With Moroccan decorations and Maghrebi tunes, Kemia Bar is good for a lively drink with friends. Mo Cafe is an outdoor terrace for lounging in warm weather and a North African souk/cafe during the cold months. This chic establishment boasts cool North African influences, from the carpeted seating arrangements with colorfully embroidered pillows to the bumping tunes. This has been a hotspot among the well-heeled and celebrity sets, despite less-than-stellar service. Come here for a relaxing evening of mint tea and shisha (hookah) or to get a little rowdy: this place works well for both.

    WHAT WE WOULD WEAR

    Stylishly casual, guests here are put together and polished.

    GO HERE WITH

    Friends; large festive group

    CROWD

    Guests are chic and look every inch the jet-setting crowd.

    WHY WE LIKE IT

    Hotspot with shishas in surroundings that transport you out of central London

    WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

    Service: the wait staff would do well from a week at servers-boot-camp.
