Where To Drink Limoncello Spritz In London

Not only is Barge East an incredibly picturesque waterside restaurant that prides itself in sustainability, with head chef Stefano Camplone at its core, but it's also a top spot for snapping up some citrusy bubbles. It makes its own limoncello from scratch, so all you have to do is ask for a spritz to bag yourself the refreshing tipple. Swing by for a couple of evening drinks at this former cargo barge, or pair them with a divine dinner, featuring a 360 degree view of London's skyline from the upper deck. 

On the hunt for a Limoncello Spritz? You'll find a cracking, citrusy offering at Bussey Rooftop Bar for only £10.50 each. The tropical Peckham spot is a sun trap come the summer; adorned with vines and flowers wrapped around wooden beams, it's a go-to when it comes to warm weather sips. You'll also find a droolworthy food menu here too, to pair with your lemony sips as pizza legends Share A Slice have a residency here. 

You can be sure to get a great slice at Pizza Pilgrims across London, but did you know that they also do a cracking self-titled spritz for only £8.95? Head down to one of its outposts in Carnaby, Camden and beyond to soak up a laid-back dining feel paired with high-quality Neapolitan delights topped with hot honey and pepperoni. Wash it all down with a tart, lemony aperitvo and you're good to go. 

Sporting duck egg blue leather chairs matching perfectly with its dainty cutlery, Lina Stores is a gorgeous Italian restaurant with a handful of outposts across the city. While it encourages sharing, it's almost too easy to devour an entire plate of tagliolini submerged in 30-egg yolk and black truffle. It's one of our favourite places to enjoy classic drinks with a twist too, such as a wild oregano-infused limoncello with prosecco and soda (£10).

In the heart of Kings Cross, there's a twenty-storey building home to gorgeous white pillars, high ceilings and bursts of greenery. These breathtaking interiors belong to German Gymnasium, a restaurant that's been transformed from England's first purpose-built gymnasium into a dazzling eatery with a mezzanine. While proud of its beer selection, it also whips up a seriously scrumptious lemon spritz (£12.50), that blends limoncello, soda water and spumante to create a sharp citrussy taste.

Nestled in the heart of Covent Garden you'll find a pretty Italian bakery serving up mouthwatering places of pasta alongside, yep, you guessed it, classic limoncello spritzes (£11.50). If you fancy getting your lips around one of these beauties, head upstairs to the dining room, decked out in old-fashioned posters and golden lamps, for lunch or dinner. You'll be thrilled to find the likes of freshly baked focaccia and burrata on the menu, too.
