London / Nightlife / Bar / Club


 

The UK’s first ice bar [open]ed in the heart of the capital last summer, giving Londoners a chance to experience the icy cool of the Lappish winter in the centre of sticky London throughout the year. In an environment of -5C, everything—from the walls, bar and bar stools, to the artwork and the 'glass’ that holds your Absolut cocktail—is made from crystal-clear Nordic ice. Entrance is £12 and time is limited to 45 minutes when busy.

 

Eclipse W11 has an excellent atmosphere at night, with regular DJ nights throughout the week and some of the best fresh fruit cocktails in town. Breakfast, lunch and dinner snacks are also on offer, including a wide selection of home-made burgers.

 

One of Mayfair’s most popular hotspots, owned by former James Bond star Roger Moore’s son, this three-storey building houses a chic brasserie, an elegant lounge bar and Strictly Hush, a stunning room for private hire. Local bankers and Bond Street types love the place and it’s a networking nirvana.

 

Hip hangout for Notting Hill trustafarians and fashionistas with a space-age interior, award-winning cocktails, Modern European food and a vast range of wines.

 

Classical columns, high decorated ceilings and towering windows point to its past as a bank, and the airy, dignified space makes it one of the most desirable spots for captains of industry to strike a deal. Mies van der Rohe chairs in the restaurant and a cool contemporary bar in the basement make for an elegant and modern take on a classic design.
