The 15 Best Outdoor Bars In London
"Admission time: the food at Double Standard is bang average. Luckily, you’re not here for fried cauliflower bites are you? No, you’re here for cocktails and that’s something this place does really, really well. On the ground floor of modern acid-dream hotel The Standard, London, this bar and terrace is all about classic cocktails and not-so-classic slushy Aperol spritzes. Hello hangover. It’s a bright and colourful '70s-inspired space that’s just as perfect for after-work drinks with the team as for a first date. If you’re looking for something a bit more special, it’s also worth noting that there’s a cocktail lounge on the hotel’s roof terrace, with spectacular views across London and spicy margaritas." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
