The Connaught Bar ★ 4.9

££££ MayfairMon-Sat 16:00-01:00, Sun 16:00-00:00

Agostino Perrone's bar inside the Connaught in Mayfair has won World's Best Bar more than once and runs the table-side martini trolley service that the rest of the industry copies.

TipOrder the martini trolley, the choice of vermouth and bitters at the table is the experience. Reservations open one month ahead.

Lyaness ★ 4.7

£££ Covent GardenMon-Thu 17:00-00:00, Fri 16:00-01:00, Sat 13:00-01:00, Sun 13:00-00:00

Ryan Chetiyawardana's ingredient-led bar at Sea Containers is built around the seven Pinnacle Guide ingredients that change every year, and the menu reads like a chef's tasting more than a drinks list.

TipSit at the bar, the conversation with the bartenders is the menu's commentary track. Saturday afternoons are the quietest slot.

American Bar at The Savoy ★ 4.7

££££ Covent GardenMon-Sat 12:00-00:00, Sun 12:00-22:00

The 1893 cocktail bar inside the Savoy is the oldest surviving American-style cocktail room in London, with the legacy of Harry Craddock's Savoy Cocktail Book still on every back-bar shelf.

TipListen for the live piano from 18:30, the room transforms. The age limit is 14 plus accompanied, dress code is enforced.

Discount Suit Company ★ 4.6

££ Shoreditch SpitalfieldsMon-Fri 17:00-23:30, Sat 18:00-23:30, Sun closed

The Wentworth Street basement opened in 2014 in a former tailor's stockroom, with a Northern Soul and rock and roll soundtrack and a price list that undercuts the rest of the central speakeasy scene.

TipWalk in early, the room is small and they do not take bookings past 19:00. Cash and card both work.

Heaven ★ 4.5

££ Charing CrossEvent nights, typically doors 22:30, close 04:00

The 1979 club under the railway arches by Charing Cross remains the central gay nightclub in London, hosting both club nights and a live programme that runs from MUNA through G-A-Y Saturdays.

Royal Vauxhall Tavern ★ 4.7

£ VauxhallEvent nights, typically 19:00-00:00 weekdays and later weekends

The Grade II listed Victorian pub on Kennington Lane is the oldest surviving LGBTQ+ venue in the country, with the Friday Duckie cabaret since 1995 and a programme that protects what Vauxhall used to be.

TipDuckie on Saturdays is the institution. The Sunday Bingo Lingo and panto seasons sell out months ahead.
