The London List: Drinking

Hello Wonderful People!

There are so many places to go for a drink in London, it's actually pretty ridiculous. On pretty much every corner there's a cute little old school pub, fancy cocktail bars line many streets and the amount of nightclubs is staggering. However, I'm more interested in finding the more unique, hidden bars that London has to offer. 

Drinking

Highlights:

The Shard
I've been to both Aqua Shard and Oblix in the Shard, and they are both so worth it for the amazing views of London. Cocktails are on the pricey side, but you can't expect anything less from the tallest building in Europe.

WC

This is a cool little bar located in an old Victorian, underground toilet block. It sounds slightly gross, but it's a really quirky place, located right next to Clapham Common tube station. Best for wine and nibbles.

 

Be At One

Now, Be At One bars aren't exactly a secret in London, they are dotted all over the place. There's one not too far from work, the other side of Covent Garden which I regularly frequent due to the amazing happy hour.

 

Wish List:

BYOC - This place sounds so cool. Hidden away, underground in central London with a speakeasy theme. Bring your own bottle of alcohol and a special mixologist, with a trolley full of crazy mixers will make cocktails for you.

Radio Rooftop - This is a rooftop bar atop the ME London Hotel and (apparently) has amazing views of the London skyline. Probably best to go in the summer though.
Paramount - I love a bar with a view, and this apparently has a great one. Located at the top of the Centre Point building, you can either go to the bar or restaurant on the top floor.
