London's Best Spots For Air Con

Cool down at Market Halls Oxford Street & Victoria with air conditioning and a eclectic mix of frozen cocktails from St. Germaine and iced carafes of Aperol Spritz, Pimms and Sangria.

With venues in Harrow, Peckham and Vauxhall, Market Place is a cool spot to enjoy top-notch food and drink this summer. They've got a number of different street food traders to choose from, whether you're in the mood for authentic Italian pizzas, smash burgers or traditional Indian cuisine. Expect pretty interiors here as well, including laidback wooden booths and lots of greenery.

To keep cool in any pesky heatwaves, or just to have you feeling fresh throughout all your bar activities, Bat & Ball in Stratford or Covent Garden has your back. Enjoy ping pong, pool, interactive darts, live sport and DJs, alongside the opportunity to book out your own private UV karaoke room here.

When the London summer heat peaks, escaping into a blast of ice-cold air conditioning becomes a top priority, and few places offer a more spectacular refuge than BrewDog Waterloo. Tucked away right inside Waterloo Station, this mammoth two-story venue is officially the brand's biggest bar, making it the ultimate air-conditioned sanctuary to beat the heat, catch the big screens, or just cool down after a long commute.

Beyond its sweet, chilled-air relief, this massive space is packed with enough entertainment to keep you indoors all day. You can sip on ultra-fresh pints from their on-site brewery, grab a scoop from the indoor Hackney Gelato ice cream van, or challenge friends to a game in their dedicated Duck Pin bowling alley. 

If you are looking to escape the blazing summer sun without sacrificing a lively atmosphere, Molly Mc's offers a perfectly chilled, air-conditioned haven hidden right beneath Waterloo's railway arches. This traditional Irish singing pub seamlessly blends freezing cold pints of Guinness with the refreshing relief of cool indoor air, making it the ultimate destination to hide away when central London gets a bit too sweltering.

The climate-controlled interiors are the perfect setting to escape the heatwave and dive into their famous Thai-rish fusion menu - featuring the internet-viral Spice Bag alongside authentic Thai street food served seven days a week.

Keep cool at one of the city's hottest bars: Hijingo in Shoreditch. Tis futuristic destination offers a bingo experience like no other, complete with buzzing live entertainment, stadium-grade lighting, high-energy music and a cutting-edge sound system.

Get stuck into their fun game, with the chance to win cracking prizes like holidays or cash jackpots. Afterwards, stay for the late-night DJ sets and dancing, or check out their delicious menu of burgers, tacos and brunch.
