For a swift half en route to the tube or a tongue-twisting experimental cocktail session, here are the best bars in your neighbourhood.
The philosophy at All Bar One is that every cocktail, glass of wine and meal is an opportunity to discover something new. The well-stocked wine cellar has something for everyone, with both classic grape varieties and a handful of more unusual varieties represented.
BUZZING ATMOSPHERE
Escape to the Highlands without having to leave SW1. Boisdale is an authentic Scottish bar and restaurant spread across several floors of a traditional Regency townhouse. Red and plaid interiors set the tone, as does the extensive drinks menu featuring rare Scottish malts.
SCOTTISH FLAVOUR
Hidden beneath Cambridge Street Kitchen is this stylish and secretive cocktail bar. Inventive tipples are all inspired and named after a cult movie, and the walls are clad in original artwork from Soho’s contemporary Lawrence Alkin Gallery.
SECRET COCKTAILS
If you like drink & games Greenwood is the perfect offer. It has an upstairs sports lounge featuring five screens showing international and domestic sport, along with an American 8 ball pool table and ping pong table.
GAMES & DRINK
A little basement smokehouse nestled in between Westminster and Victoria on Abbey Orchard Street. Serving up low and slow smoked cocktails and craft beers, you can also soak up the sounds of the soulful south.
SMOKE IT UP
This award-winning concept restaurant offers a variety of drinking and dining experiences all under one expansive roof. Pop down between 5pm and 6pm during the week for complimentary wine tasting sessions at the dedicated wine store.
AWARD WINNING
Just around the corner from the office, alive in the week with local workers. The large bar is a mix and match of tables, armchairs and the upstairs bar is ideal for meetings, dinners, drinks and more.
YOUR LOCAL
Enjoy a fine ale, an expertly crafted cocktail or perhaps tuck into a rare breed beef burger in the buzzy atmosphere of the Ground Floor Bar. A fine wine list focusing on Champagne, aromatic whites and reds compliment the dishes perfectly.
