The 15 Best Cocktail Bars In London

"If you look through the window of this Hackney Road bar, the candlelit scene inside will draw you in like a moth to a cocktail-fuelled flame. There’s vinyl playing, glasses clinking, and incredibly flattering lighting that we’re dubbing ‘flickering golden hour filter’. We’d want to sit in this room even if they only served Smirnoff Ice, but the cocktails are simple yet stunning. It’s home to one of the best Negronis in London and a refreshing olive oil vodka, fino sherry, and distilled tomato situation that we can knock back with, frankly, worrying ease.  " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
