Guide to London's Best Cocktail Bars

London is one of the world's cocktail capitals with a vast wealth of bars. Most of the hotel bars will rustle you up a good cocktail, but there are some independent gems that are a little more difficult to find, but well worth checking out.

The sheer number of bars available in the city can mean that it can be difficult to sort the good from the bad. Then there's the fact that some are notoriously difficult to find: hidden doors, secret bars in basements, and even a wardrobe straight out of Narnia…however this guide will help you to find the best, and steer clear of the worst!
