The Nudge's Guide to the Best New Bars in London 

New bars in London – all the rage.

If Columbus were alive today - and if he wanted to visit the best new bars in London - he’d have wanted a 1st Mate just like the Nudge to act both as his primary navigator and his moral compass.

But probably mainly as a navigator.

These are the best new bars in London right now – 

The Lucky Pig  An intimate new ramshackle underground drinking den complete with rickety old piano and gramophone, mismatched furniture and leather cloakroom trunks, Chinese parasols, scratched walls..

Archer Street Cocktail Bar  A members-only club that has no members. A Miami beach club-style bar and lounge, a downstairs bar with an "apres-ski" vibe, and staff that sing at intermittent periods throughout the evening. It works

Shaker & Co  According to the man behind London’s newest drinking den - Shaker & Company – the humble cocktail originated in New Orleans’ French Quarter. So he designed his bar...around a stag's head

It’s a small list, but only because a list of the best always is.
