All served by the beloved Bakerloo Line, we've decided to hand-pick some of our favourite bars and restaurants along the line.

Right on the South Bank, The Understudy has you covered for a tipple near the Bakerloo. Pull up a pew inside or go alfresco on the street terrace to dive into craft beer and creative cocktails.
There's a long line of pumps to work your way through, covering the likes of Gipsy Hill Brewing, East London Liquor Co., and Nirvana Brewing. The street food is just as dreamy, packing in Middle Eastern wraps, crispy hash browns and authentic Mexican tacos.
Seeing as it's quite a long night ahead, it makes sense to pace yourselves, which is why The Prince Alfred pub serves it purpose. Just minutes away from Little Venice, it's a traditional Victorian pub with a fine selection of drinks on offer that's sure to get you on your way to a stellar night.
One of the most fun bars around, Lucky Voice Waterloo promises to turn even the shyest visitors into popstars. This quirky karaoke venue is filled with neon lights and disco balls galore, with eight cool private booths to hire. There are more than 12,000 songs to choose from here, with themed cocktails like the Purple Rain or a Crazy In Love to match. You can get your hands on delicious pizzas here too, and they even offer bottomless brunches on Saturdays.
Fancy sprucing up your regular ol' boozer or local bar? Why not check out Tequila Mockingbird in Covent Garden for some lip-smacking drinks. From margaritas to Disney-themed concoctions, this is the perfect place to chill with friends and have fun.
Standing proudly on Baker Street, just a few doors down from the famous address of the one and only Sherlock Holmes, The Volunteer is a gorgeous period pub serving up craft beers and classic grub. Better yet, it's said to be haunted by a pretty dapper chap. It's nothing short elementary.
Elephant and Castle's Diogenes The Dog is no ordinary run-of-the-mill bar. Specialising in unconventional bottles from up-and-coming regions around the world, the wine bar is also a stunning spot, touting exposed brickwork and wood flooring.
After Bakerloo Line hotspots? Wolfpack Queens Park is a firm choice. This popular taproom is housed within an auto shop, making it a quirky spot on the design front. And when the sports are on, this place comes alive and touts HD screens, alongside plenty of pours to guzzle.
Alice House is a trendy restaurant bar that fuses vintage glamour and contemporary socialising, whilst offering some fantastic cuisine to line your stomach for the long night ahead. Enjoy some truly innovative and inspired cocktails on the side that are sure to impress you and all your friends.
A great little place set in Maida Vale, The Elgin is a fine establishment. With an impressive drinks menu, they boast a great selection of over 40 beers from across the globe and a carefully chosen wine list as well. A truly wonderful pub, The Elgin is a surefire winner.
