- Visitor Information
For the London incarnation of Favela Chic (whose sister bar has been energising the Oberkampf district of Paris for a decade) they've stripped everything down to the bare boards to recreate the spirit of Brazil's shanty towns. Scarred discarded timber, battered old doors, scrawled graffiti and tatty religious icons have been slung together by someone with an eye for design. The soundtrack includes some great live bands and DJs who throw out the odd Brazilian-tinged remix or a classic samba record. Caiparinhas and Caiparoskas rule the roost, but they find space for other Latin blends like the Mojito and some supremely drinkable Argentine plonk. The overall effect leans far more towards Shoreditch than Sao Paulo, especially once you factor in the laughably fashion-concious crowd, but huge queues testify to the great party atmosphere inside.Location map of Favela Chic
