The best secret bars in London
A bookcase in London's oldest whisky shop, a secret fridge door, a whispered password and a wardrobe... London is littered with tucked-away, hidden drinking spots.
The 'speakeasy'-style bar is a term that rolls off the average Londoner's tongue (along with added connotations of dimly lit interiors and moustached, rough linen apron-wearing bar staff). But there's a reason our establishments keep nodding to the prohibition era – there's something of a kick in settling down in a bar that's made you work for it. Browse our gallery of our favourite hidden bars below:
The low down: This members-only hideaway in King's Cross presents itself on the street as an ordinary grey door and entrance keypad. Step inside to find a non-pretentious, comfortable, laid-back lounge bar to kick back in and enjoy unique cocktails. The club is open from Tuesday-Thursday 18:00-02:00, and Friday-Sunday 18:00-04:00
We recommend: Any of their meticulously pre-batched cocktails.
