Ever felt as if, with so many nightlife hotspots to pick from, getting the most of London's nightlife can get, to say the least, tricky? That's why we have decided to gather all of our UK team's best-kept-secret drink destinations in one place — so that, come the weekend, you will have no excuse not to join in the electrifying atmosphere of the best bars in London. And, most importantly, you will know where to look for the real deal.
Not all the team's suggestions made the cut. Why? Because, similarly to our edit of the best London hotels for uncompromising design obsessives, this curation of local-approved hangouts raises the bar (no pun intended) for your cocktail experience. It does so by not only valuing the sophistication of their beverage and bites offering, but also — and especially — by spotlighting those addresses where imaginative, and often unexpected, decor sets the tone.
