Best London Bars and Pubs


Whenever friends visit, they ask what are the best bars to go to whilst here. There are countless recommendations on the net but are they any good? Here is my list of top watering holes in this great, wonderful, liquid loving city.

1. Lounge Lover, East London
One of the most exciting bars you can visit - cool, expensive, a bit too hip for its own good but definitely worth a visit.


2. Lansdowne Pub, Primrose Hill
Famed for its 'don't give a ....' staff, this local pub is always packed with Primrose Hillbillies and celebs galore. Past drinkers here include Jude Law, Sienna Miller, Natalie Portman, Steve Jones etc etc


3. Lab Bar, Soho
Best cocktails in London. Based in the heart of Soho, this ordinary looking bar from the outside is famous for its fantastic cocktails and knowledgeable bar staff.


4. Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes
Always packed, sweaty, cheap, loud music - everything you want from a night out in E London.

5. Holly Bush, Hampstead
Like a good old country pub but in central London. Near Hampstead station yet off the beaten track, nothing beats a cold winter's afternoon in this pub. Roaring fire an added bonus.
