Peachy Queen Bournemouth

Inspired by the OG influencer and Victorian ‘It Girl’ Lillie Langtry, Peachy Queen is Bournemouth’s dreamy new haunt for cocktails and relaxed, riviera cool.

They invite you into a world of peaches and cream where the sun never sets, the drinks are always cold and the good times are legendary.

Their girl Lillie was the Kim K of her day: smart, beautiful and fearlessly herself, she was the archetypal celebrity trendsetter.

While everyone else was dressing in fussy Bridgerton-style fits, she went her own way: keeping it simple in a plain black dress and no jewelry. We’ve all got Lillie to thank for showing us the wonders of an LBD.

Her bold individuality caught the eye of one of the most famous painters of the day, John Everett Millais, and she became his muse, modelling for his paintings.

Of course, she also had fabulous and flamboyant friends like Oscar Wilde, and the pair ran riot at society parties. Always in the newspaper gossip columns, Lillie’s fans couldn’t get enough of her.

The ultimate cool girl, she was so admired that she became the face (and peachy complexion 🍑) of Pears Soap. She was the first ever woman to endorse a commercial product, making her the very first beauty influencer. Molly Mae could never.

Along the way, Lillie broke more than a few hearts: she was married twice, but also found time for steamy affairs with society’s most eligible men, and even Queen Victoria’s son, Edward VII, who built a love nest for the two of them in our very own Bournemouth.

So let Lillie be your inspo for wild nights out, iconic cocktail moments and scandalously good times at Peachy Queen.
