One palm tree does not a tropical paradise make. However, it's about as close as you're ever going to get to a beach vibe in central London. Which is why, on hot summer days and sticky summer nights, you'll find happy crowds downing cocktails and munching on tasty bar snacks on the palm-tree adorned terrace outside this lively Clapham bar. Ok so there's only one palm tree, but it's better than nothing and provides welcome shade in the midday sun. In colder months, heaters keep the outdoor area well-stocked with punters, but there's also a funky modern interior with slouch-enducing pale leather sofas to retire to when the weather gets the best of you. Directly opposite both the tube and the common, Gigalum's location is hard to beat in this part of town. A good bar year round but best enjoyed with the sun in your eyes, a frond in your face and a glass in your hand.
