"While true underground, unlicensed speakeasies are unlikely to end up on a list like this — the smart ones, anyway — the Hoxton hotel’s 2NW5 basement bar plays it more discreetly than most. Hotel staff can offer guidance to the door in question: knock thrice and if there’s space patrons will be invited in to a dimly lit, handsomely furnished space full of leather, wood, and marble. Expect hotel bar prices for drinks and bites. 2NW5 is accessible via the Hoxton’s elevator." - Nathan Williams
