1. Coburg Bar
Located in The Connaught Hotel near Hyde Park, the Coburg provides a comfortable, homelike yet upscale atmosphere. Though the menu provides all the essential drinks a bar would have (classic cocktails, champagne, beer), the Coburg is known for their selection of gin such as Tanqueray, Plymouth, Sacred, Sipsmith and Fifty Pounds. Order a Gin and Tonic and lounge into their large plush armchairs as you sip to a great night ahead! Want to enjoy a relaxing evening?
Brick buildings, giant glass sconces and gin make this distillery in East London one worth visiting. What used to be an old glue factory is now home to their house-made gin in copper stills that can be seen behind a glass wall. If you think you know gin, test your knowledge from an array of cocktails based on the distillery’s own gin. Clink glasses to a Marva Collins, their popular cocktail.

4. Four Thieves
If you’re looking for a more down-to-earth and lowkey type of setting, visit Four Thieves, a “hipster” like bar filled with retro games, homemade gin, and even their own escape game in the basement.
