"Closing time: Monday - Thursday - 12am / Friday - Saturday - 1am Another late night spot on the legendary Soho strip that laughs in the face of Magaluf’s all-night antics, Old Compton Brasserie is a no-brainer when you’re after some oysters at midnight. Home to big leather booths and cocktails named after local legends, they’ve got an eclectic brasserie menu that covers everything from seafood linguine to vegan burgers. None of it will blow you away and the price of the mains can be steep, so swing by for some luxury snacks, make your way through their 10 classic cocktails for £10, and debate whether you too need a mural of Bjork on that exposed brick wall in your flat." - heidi lauth beasley
