We've constructed a squad of venues that you absolutely must visit before you die, guaranteed to give you more of a thrill than climbing a mountain or throwing yourself out of an aeroplane.

The Perception at W London

If you ever wanted to find a truly London bar, The Perception Bar is it. Their interiors are stunning (and the lighting is simply perfect for Instagram), while their food – supplied by a resident chef – is a must. The cocktails complete the deal, with a creative menu full of tasty mixed drinks that compliments the calibre of music played by their DJs.

Flight Club

There are plenty of places to play darts in London, but none are quite like Flight Club. From their state of the art dartboards and games down to their pizza and quirky interiors, get an eye full and stick around for that all important bullseye. 

Disrepute

Found on the location of the iconic 60s haunt The Pinstripe Club, Disrepute is a venue with a lot of history to it. This Soho watering hole blends traditional glamour with exciting, modern cocktails, in a basement space filled with plush velvet sofas, gold-gilded mirrors and low lighting. Expect a jazz soundtrack while you drink, and if you visit during their aperitvo hour from 4 until 6pm Sunday to Thursday, you can enjoy £9 cocktails.

Found

If there's one thing you must make time for on your London Bar Bucket List, it has got to be trying to find Found. The intimate cocktail bar is hidden away in Shoreditch and once discovered will reward you with some seriously delicious tipples.
