Le Meridien Rooftop bar - Picadilly

I like this rooftop bar as it's so central to Piccadilly and a great place to people watch. Sadly, when I went, there was scaffolding on the building opposite but the cocktails definitely made up for it! They are pricey, but a great number of classics are available.

I went for a traditional daiquiri which was great.

London Cocktail Club

If you like your cocktails, this is certainly the place to go. The cocktail menu is the largest I've seen, and is usefully split into different themes, from biscuits to different decades.

The London Cocktail Club has four venues across London, and they serve quirky snacks too, as well as 'proper' food. The interior is good fun, and a great place for a evening out. They get really crowded so really worth booking a seat if you can.

I myself went for a jammy dodger cocktail! (below):

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel

There has been a huge investment in St. Pancras in the last few years, and the place has transformed. The Renaissance Hotel is a fantastic building to look at - and there are some great attractions inside.

The Hotel has retained the old station 'booking office' which is now a beautiful bar. Drinks are very pricey but it is worth a look inside.

You'll also find the Gilbert Scott restaurant, which is one of my favourite restaurants in all of London. It has such an old charm, the food is amazing (Marcus Wareing), and in my opinion - is good value for how nice it is. 

If you're in the building, make sure you sneak a look at the grand staircase just along from the restaurant (picture below). It is spectacular.

Bourne and Hollingsworth - bar

The thing I love about London, is the variety of things to do and places to go. Speakeasy bars have become quite popular, but this one is quite hidden and really does feel like you're having a drink in your grandma's lounge.

You enter a lower ground floor, into a floral small 'lounge'. Most cocktails are served in teacups and they are delicious. The venue is quite small, so worth doing on a week day night or with not too large a crowd.

In line with the secrecy of a true speakeasy bar, there is not much information on the website, however I'll link you to it in any case:
