It may be hard to believe, considering all the hefty crowds and iconic shops it's known for, but this London hotspot also houses some excellent liquid lairs. You just need to know where to look. From cocktail haunts and traditional pubs to late-night party spots and underground treasure troves, some of the best bars on Oxford Street are hidden right under your nose. But not for long... 




The Flying Horse

If you're after some history with your pint, look no further than The Flying Horse, the last remaining pub on Oxford Street. Dating back to 1790, the traditional London boozer stocks a hefty selection of cask ales, gin and wine and also screens a number of sports fixtures. 

Laki Kane

Happy Hour and 1 other offer

Located right off Oxford Street on Duke Street, Laki Kane provides the ultimate refuge from London's busiest shopping district. Named after the Polynesian phrase for 'a lucky person,' this destination bar blends tropical aesthetic design with the warmth of traditional Aloha hospitality, offering an immediate retreat from the crowds outside.

Whether you're stopping in for a post-shopping refresh or starting a late-night celebration, the drink menu covers everything from crisp, citrusy Gin Thai Fizzes to bold, signature rum creations. 

1864 Rooftop Bar & Kitchen

Picture-perfect and located on the 6th floor of John Lewis Oxford Street, 1864 Rooftop Bar is the ideal hideout if you're looking for sky-high sips and a break from the city. It provides a plush, green seating area adorned with wildflowers, pinstripe furnishings and private wooden booths to relax and enjoy a signature tipple in. Look forward to a menu packing the likes of a Fig Old Fashioned, followed by decadent small plates such as lobster rolls, hand-carved Ibérico Bellota ham and chorizo croquetas with Manchego.
