London bars?

[Craig E]

I'm heading to London for almost a month. In previous trips, some of my favorite drink spots have included White Lyan, Satan's Whiskers, Swift, and Oriole.
What bars should I not miss this time around?

We really enjoyed the (indoor) roof top bar at the Hari Hotel - 20 Chesham Pl, London SW1X 8HQ. Not sure if it is open to the public, as we were staying there, but they do have a public restaurant (Il Pampero - which I highly recommend) so there is a good chance that the bar is also public.

I haven't been to London in a while, but if I was going these bars would be on my list:

• A Bar with Shapes for a Name (I have been a Remy Savage fan since discovering his cocktails at the Little Red Door in Paris)
• Tayer + Elementary (by the mastermind who got the Artesian on the map)
• Coupette (because of the French theme)
• Trailer Happiness (because I love tiki drinks)
• Lyaness (I've been a Ryan Cheti follower since White Lyan and love his creativity)

Since we lean more these days to the wines we're drinking, a couple of favorites (for wine) included Noble Rot and BRAT.

 

And this piece was in the Times last week...

 

Why London Is One of the Best Places in the World to Drink Wine

 

I've reached out to a couple of bartender friends, and will post if they come back with anything different than your OP above.

Well, Satan's Whiskers is on the list.

 

Happiness Forgets - run by a Pegu Club alumnus.

 

Duke's - classic Duke's Martini

 

Bar Termini - more of an aperitif bar
