Hakkasan | 8 Hanway Place W1T 1HD

Lobby Bar @ The London Edition | 10 Berners Street W1T
One of the most striking hotel lobbies in London, great cocktails and ambience, but whos more beautiful, the people or the staff...
Yorkshire Grey | 46 Langham Street W1W 7AX
Traditional London boozer and home to the best fireside snug in Fitzrovia, great for a cheeky post work pint.
