LONDON BARS UNDER THE RADAR
Don’t get me wrong, i am a huge fan of the big London bars and clubs and major parties, but sometimes we all need a bit of peace and quiet at a secret location. While London’s top areas offer this for visitors due to their location it’s also great to know the places where you’re guaranteed not to be asked for directions to Piccadilly Circus, have a Strongbow dark fruit poured over your shoes or whacked with a selfie stick. That’s why i have compiled a few secret gems that fly under the radar despite being totally brilliant. So get stuck into a less crowded night out with your friends or partner. Just keep it under your hat, yeah?
1.Happiness Forgets
This cosy cocktail cavern, surreptitiously situated beneath a Thai restaurant on the west side of Hoxton Square, is small, subterranean and clearly slung together on a shoestring. But never mind all that, because it's really good. Unlike other drinking destinations, there's none of that secretive speakeasy nonsense, It's just a bar with down-to-earth decor, extremely well-crafted cocktails, switched-on staff and good music. I'd personally rate this 5 star ⭐️
- Experimental Cocktail Club
With speakeasies all the rage in London, the Experimental Cocktail Club is perhaps the closest we have to a genuine hidden drinking den. The bar's two floors are a tasteful blend of fin-de-siecle opulence and antique shop chic. And did we mention the sensational cocktails? You will find this on Gerrard Steet nearby Leicester Square- can't give too much away (after all it is a secret 😜) this one I would rate 4 star ⭐️
- Mayor Of Scaredey Cat Town
This dimly-lit, basement cocktail bar beneath the new Breakfast Club in Spitalfields is reminiscent of a Twin Peaks cabin with moose heads, mirror balls and retro wallpaper.The cocktails, consisting of classics and house specials, are well-crafted on the whole and the beer list is also better than some. This one I would rate 4 star ⭐️
