Winter whimsy: Not the Buttons at Common Decency in the NoMad
(Picture: Press handout)With Christmas almost here, the city is illuminated with festive lights, restaurants and pubs feel cosier than ever before, the shops are filled with festive hits and the streets are a mix of left-it-too-late present buyers and had-too-much-at-the-office party types.
Some Scrooges might think it all utterly awful, there’s one thing most Londoners can get behind — and that’s a damn good drink. Luckily, there’s never a shortage in that department no matter the season, but the festive cocktails that grace the lists of London’s bars, pubs and restaurants are tiny tastes of liquid joy that bring the season’s flavours to life.
