Looking for a little smoke in the Big Smoke? Whether it's a sexy restaurant touting African cuisine and hookah pipes or a low-key bar where drinks are at the forefront, we've rounded up the best places for shisha in London. Think slick African-inspired restaurants, neon-lit bars, rooftop gardens and everything in between.




Embers At Horizon

Tucked inside Horizons Casino on Leicester Square, Ember serves up sensational small plates and grilled specialities. Expect everything from charcoal-grilled meats and smoky mezze to perfectly seared seabass and bold Pan-Asian dishes.

Inside you can settle in for a long lunch or pre-show dinner. If you prefer to sip alfresco, head out to the heated terrace and you'll find shisha, handcrafted cocktails and a atmosphere that keeps going long after the West End shows have wrapped up.

Tropical

Tropical London brings big beach energy to New Cross. This is the place to be for creative cocktails, ice cold pints and all kinds of live entertainment. 

Whether you're here for a drink or a dance, be sure to visit the shisha lounge before you leave. Lively and luxurious, it's a great spot whether you know your way around a pipe or you're a first time inhaler.
