The Nudge's Guide to the Top Bars in London

The only thing to be done - when compiling a list of the top bars in London - is to first ignore what everyone else thinks.

Though we consider the following to be a definitive list of the top bars in London right now, others may consider it to simply represent the Nudge’s opinion of the top bars in London.

Fortunately, in this instance, everyone is correct: the following is both our opinion – and the definitive list - of the top bars in London right now:

Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town A secret undergound drinking den accessed through the door of a Smeg fridge. Amazing.

Worship St Whistling Shop Exploded Vodka Martini, anyone? Worship St Whistling Shop: a quirky cocktail bar inspired by Victorian gin palaces and dram shops of old.

Shaker & Co As the humble cocktail originated in New Orleans’ French Quarter, this bar was designed around, um, a stag's head.

Experimental Cocktail Club Hidden behind a scruffy, easily-missable, door in the heart of Chinatown is this: a moody, legendary, Parisian, prohibition-style cocktail den.

Piano Kensington  New York does piano bars: friends squeezed around a grand piano in Greenwich Village, cocktail in hand, filling the room with Ratpack classics and showtunes. London has one too.
