Red Alert: Traffic pulls into town

Looking for fresh ideas for a Christmas cocktail? Then stop by Traffic, a new bar launched in the Crowne Plaza Kensington Hotel in London.

Priding itself on an imaginative cocktail list and a cool, contemporary look, Traffic is geared towards attracting the Kensington and Chelsea crowd hungry for a new drinking hole.  

To celebrate its launch, the Traffic team has created a colourful set of cocktails called – yes, you guessed it – Red, Amber and Green.

Each with a Smirnoff base, get your colour fix and perhaps even your five-a-day from Red’s mix of strawberries, lemon, grape and apple juice, or perhaps Amber’s pineapple, peaches, grape and ginger ale.

Just a short walk from Gloucester Road tube station on Cromwell Road, Traffic is open seven days a week for anything from a lunchtime pit stop to an afternoon pick-me-up and post work parties.
