Bars & Pubs

Directly opposite Parsons Green tube, this is a place to stop too, whether for a snifter or a spot of nosh. Inside, clean-lined modernity comes with those all-important clever touches - beautiful giant knobbly glass lampshades, groovy geometric wallpaper, large canvases unexpectedly depicting classic tough guys from 1960s Caine to 1970s Sweeney. Though there are good bottled beers like St Peter's and Doom Bar, the drinks list majors on around 100 different wines, with an admirable 40 or so by the glass. There's a good spirits range too and an excellent, inventive bar menu ices the cake.
