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: Housed in a converted luggage room, and styled in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, The Luggage Room has its roots buried amid nostalgia for the Jazz Age, while playing ball with the pioneering bars of the moment. Gain access to this stellar bar by knocking on the 'Luggage Entrance' – a secret black door kitted out with sliding hatch.
We recommend: A 'Rum Syllabub' brewed from the Luggage Room’s limited edition rum.
