The 15 Best Cocktail Bars In London

"If the words ‘comes with passion fruit caviar’ make you want to start saying some very mean things about the last mixologist you met, take a deep breath and trust in the inventive, grown-up cocktails at the Corinthia’s hotel bar, Velvet.

This dimly lit, glamorous bar looks like it’s from a fictitious era called The Golden Age Of Red Draping and the must-order Negroni svegliato is a Campari and coffee creation that has no right to work, but absolutely does. Also, there’s live jazz." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
