Drink
LillsSonny's Kingston
A rooftop on the Thames at Kingston where the whole thing peaks at golden hour. Tropical cocktails, boats drifting past, and a terrace that feels like you've left London entirely. Get there before sunset and don't rush it.
JayaQ Shoreditch
Just opened, already rammed. Pool tables, loud music, cocktails you'll pretend you can afford.
neveCahoots Underground
A disused Underground station dressed up as wartime London - live music, staff in on the act, and cocktails served with full theatrical mischief. You don't just drink here, you play along.
Sara 💕📝Cahoots Postal Office
Transport the two of you back in time at Cahoots Postal Office, where delicious cocktails are delivered via pneumatic tubes. Browse newspaper menus, order an Air Mail, and get delightfully lost in every nostalgic detail.
Nyaruaii 🌸Zum Barbarossa
Slip beneath Dean Street into dimly lit Parisian glamour. You two can whisper over crafted cocktails, share fresh oysters, and sink into the intimate atmosphere long into the evening.
lo in londonBar Coyo
Start with the tacos and dangerously drinkable frozen margs, then slip into Bar Coyo - the speakeasy hidden behind the counter. Mezcal, spicy margs by heat level, and a DJ spinning Miami heat till late.
A mum and her babiesMother's Ruin
A tiny Walthamstow distillery with a bar attached - small-batch gin and a dirty (or "filthy") martini poured by the people who actually make it. Relaxed, a bit off the map, open weekends only. Worth leaving the centre for.
Kieran | travel more 🛩️🤠The Little Scarlet Door
Two floors done up like an eclectic Soho flat-share -mismatched furniture, warm lighting, a blanket-strewn terrace. It's built to feel like a friend's house party, not a bar. Come for cocktails or the bottomless brunch and stay late.
The EadesRenegade Urban Winery
An East London urban winery where the wine's made on-site. Book a guided tasting and work through their funky naturals and orange wines, all oddly named after people, poured by the people who actually make them. Small plates, relaxed, low on pretension.
J Glo 🤍 | Food & TravelWagtail
Cocktails and seafood on a slick City rooftop, skyline in every direction. Time it for sunset and ask about the upper open-air deck, the best seat in the place.
Tadiwa☆ | 20s & travelNetil360 Rooftop Bar - Restaurant
A laid-back Hackney rooftop above London Fields, frozen margaritas, proper pizza, wine deals, and a young, easy crowd taking in the skyline from a creative-studios building. Built for a sunny afternoon that rolls into the night.
gioacchinorusso_Gordon's Wine Bar
Duck beneath Embankment into low stone arches, flickering candlelight and classic European wines. Share a generous cheese board, squeeze in close, and forget which century you two are living in.
Traveltothefridge | London ✨Lady of The Grapes Covent Garden
Take a table under the dim lights for French small plates and exceptional bottles produced by female winemakers. It is cosy, intimate, and made for lingering over that second glass together.
Rosie DartLe Beaujolais
Settle into this quirky 1972 Soho wine bar for proper French bottles and generous cheese boards. With its ceiling of vintage ties and eccentric nostalgia, it’s the ultimate spot for you two to whisper over a post-show drink.
PhoebeatsssPedro's Wine Bar
Settle into this rustic Bermondsey spot for bespoke wine pairings and garlic chilli prawns that transport you straight to Portugal. Just make sure you two save room for the ridiculously affordable chocolate mousse.
Caitlin CapaldiFrankie’s W10
Settle into this intimate Portobello Road haunt where the lighting is low and there is zero rush. Order a fine bottle, lean in close, and let the two of you take your time.
Frankie | Travel & London lifeStable Wines
A wine shop up top, a proper vaulted cellar bar down below, the kind of arched, low-lit room that makes a Tuesday feel like you're getting away with something. The wine leans natural and low-intervention (nothing added, nothing taken away), there's a long list by the glass, and a small, punchy kitchen from Goodbye Horses to keep you there for one more.
Zay | Travel & Lifestyle 🌴🐚Florattica Rooftop London
A floral-themed rooftop bar eleven floors above Aldgate, crowned by a vast ceiling hand-wired from preserved flowers and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling City views. The cocktails are botanical and beautifully made, and the terrace stays heated and covered year-round. Stylish, unhurried, and made for a date that wants a bit of a view.
