The Best Casual Date Spots In London

"Heading to a bar in Soho doesn’t feel particularly casual but you know what does? An £8.50 negroni. The moody basement bar on Shaftesbury Avenue has a lot of things going for it. Namely, it's a massive, candlelit industrial space with groovy music that mixes groups of friends getting progressively (and more entertainingly) drunk, with lust-struck couples getting one more drink until the early hours of the morning. Best of all, you can’t book. So, take your chances or, even better, distract a bouncer and walk straight in." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing
