The oldest surviving cocktail bar in Britain — birthplace of the White Lady and the Corpse Reviver, with a pianist who never stops.
The Setting
The Room
Art Deco to its bones: soft blue walls, Lalique-style fittings, and framed portraits of past head bartenders. A grand piano anchors the room, played nightly without fail.
The single drink worth the journey to London.
— On the White Lady
The Atmosphere
The Vibe
Theatreland glamour and tourists-meet-regulars buzz, lifted by live piano. Dressier and livelier than the city's hushed hotel bars — it wants you to stay for a second set.

The Drinks Program
A living museum of the cocktail: the White Lady and Corpse Reviver were codified here by Harry Craddock. The current team's themed menus are some of the most ambitious in London.
