If you're looking for a destination that's bound to impress, you can't go wrong with a trip to Searcys Champagne Bar At Battersea Power Station. This elegant venue is filled with classy brass finishing and comfortable blue velvet booths, oozing with luxury.

Treat yourself to one of their many Champagnes or English sparkling wines, or opt for a refined signature cocktail instead. As for food, they serve scrumptious light bites like caviar, North Atlantic prawns and artisan cheese boards.

Peggy Jean

Sun, Sips & 25% Off Cocktails This Summer!

Found in Richmond, Peggy Jean is a gorgeous drinking destination filled with pretty pink decor. Step onto this beautiful boat on the River Thames, complete with three decks, alfresco seating and amazing views of the water.

They've got a cracking selection of cocktails on offer, as well as an Australian-inspired food menu. Think fancy bacon rolls in the morning, followed by mains of chicken parmigiana, Hereford fillet steak skewers and more.

Engel Bar

Tucked away in the Royal Exchange, Engel Bar transports you to an era of lavish hedonism with its Art Deco elegance, grand arches, and intimate courtyard views. Just steps from Bank station, you'll find a menu filled with delicious bites, including frites, oysters, and German charcuterie.

Top off your night with a Lychee Paloma, Rhubarb Fizz, a Skandal, made from Rémy Martin 1738, or the creamy Trüffel-Martini, and revel in the stylish atmosphere of this hidden gem.

Hux Bar

Beauty and elegance abound at Hux Bar, located in the sophisticated heart of Kensington. The bar's design is a visual feast, featuring rich textures, warm lighting, and luxurious finishes that create a dreamlike, decadent ambience.

Whether you're settling in for a quiet drink or celebrating a special moment, the setting is simply stunning. Hux's attention to detail extends to its drink offerings too - expect exquisitely crafted cocktails and a handpicked wine selection that complements the refined surroundings. It's a beautiful place to see and be seen in London's vibrant nightlife scene.

Amazing Grace London Bridge

Happy Hour Tues - Fri 4pm - 7pm

Looking for a slick bar to try out? Previously St Thomas's Church, Amazing Grace is a bustling music venue and themed bar, which features Asian nibbles, delicious cocktails and the prettiest stained glass windows you'll ever see. Take a seat on their mezzanine to enjoy their stunning audiovisual displays and 3D light projections alongside a mesmerising live music performance. While you're at it? Munch on Japanese fried chicken, pulled pork bao buns, Vietnamese fried tofu and much more.

Disrepute

There's a whole lot of history with Disrepute; the Soho bar used to be the site of The Pinstripe Club - the setting of the Profumo affair. It's still pretty scandalous, with 1960s style interiors, lots of nooks and corners, and a killer cocktail list that matches the incredible setting.

Glamarama Green

Sun, Sips & 25% Off Cocktails This Summer!

Just a short walk from the Victoria & Albert Museum, Glamarama Green keeps the high fashion vibes alive. Its walls are an exhibition, packing in works by William Morris, Rose Blake and Collagism.

The menu is also nothing short of a masterpiece. From craft beers and small batch spirits to Aussie wines and signature cocktails, there's beauty in every single sip.

The Coral Room

One of the most beautiful bars in Central London, this gorgeous offering from The Bloomsbury hotel is bringing vibrant colour and gorgeous cocktails to Great Russell Street. Stop in for 20s-style decor and alfresco sips in their hidden garden, admiring all of the care and attention that has gone in to this epic cocktail setting.

The Little Violet Door

Bottomless Brunch

The Little Violet Door in Carnaby is visually stunning, that's to its fictional flat share theme allowing it to be adorned with velvet sofas, pastel-coloured bathrooms and plenty of disco balls. It feels like you've stepped into a psychedelic Wes Anderson dream, and there's even a downstairs area that exists as a retro games room. On the menu, you can expect to find a selection of scrumptious bar snacks like popcorn and prawn tacos, plus signature cocktails such as the whiskey-based Mad Men, and the La La Land, which is served in a milk bottle with a rainbow strip. 

Larry's

Sun, Sips & 25% Off Cocktails This Summer!

Located within the historic vaults of the National Portrait Gallery, Larry's is a sleek basement bar that's decked out in rustic brick walls and plush leather booth seating. This intimate venue was formerly a coal shed, dating back to 1896 and creating a historic feel.

This stunning spot is known for its cocktails, part of the Australian-inspired Daisy Green collection. Their all-day menu ranges from brunch plates to the likes of miso-roasted aubergine and yuzu gin salmon, and they even serve afternoon tea here.

Paradise Green

Sun, Sips & 25% Off Cocktails This Summer!

If you're hunting for a bar that's as good-looking as its drinks, Paradise Green's Sunset bar is a knockout. Warm dusk tones, sculptural lighting and a dramatic 3D illuminated bar give it an unmistakably cinematic feel, like a sunset you can drink under.

And those drinks? Think Paloma Coast with champagne foam, fig-laced sours, chocolate-cherry negronis and Australian-inspired serves built for sipping. Grab a booth, order something colourful, and settle into one of the prettiest bars in the Square Mile.

Back to Mine

Free Bottle of Prosecco and 2 other offers

This eye-popping venue is a great way to add some colour to your Insta feed. Not interested in securing the perfect snap? Then good thing Back to Mine has a whole lot more to offer. Their European food menu is made up of small plates and sharing boards, from padron peppers and nachos to baked camembert and a charcuterie spread. You'll also find a stellar cocktail menu featuring the award-winning lychee martini and other creative concoctions – with drink deals on throughout the week. They even have a bottomless brunch with a build-your-own bagel board. 

SAMBA ROOM

With a sister restaurant like SUSHISAMBA just below, it was a given that SAMBA ROOM would deliver the goods in the beauty department. Found on the 39th floor of Heron Tower, the intimate cocktail bar and lounge has sweeping views of the City of London outside and a mix of Latin American and mid-century decor inside - leaving you spoilt for choice. One of the most Instagrammable bars in London? We certainly think so, and the menu of Brazilian, Japanese and Peruvian fusion food with stunning cocktails to wash it down backs this up.
