London’s New Bar Openings - London - The Infatuation
"Gothic Bar, inside King’s Cross’ The Midland Grand Dining Room, could feasibly pass as a set for The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The clue’s in the name—everywhere you look there’s crushed velvet, hulking columns, and seats that will be kind to the hundred-odd-year-old vampires that will surely drink here. Closing times range from ‘late’ to ‘a little later’ and there’s a selection of absinthe—so settle in for the long haul. Crucially for winter, the terrace has heaters, blankets, and comfortable armchair seating." - daisy meager, sinead cranna
