Distance: 0.2 mls

Moose Bar

I can't imagine anyone not liking this place. The latest venture from the Vince Power Music Group, opened late last year, is a rarity in the West End: cosy, reasonably...

Marylebone: 88 Marylebone Lane, W1U 2PY

Golden Eagle

Every year, we like this pub a bit more. And every year, it seems a bit more agreeably out of place. Sure, a paint job has brightened it up, but the Golden Eagle...

Distance: 0.3 mls

Beehive

As Gerry Rafferty once sang of Baker Street, it's got 'So many people, but it's got no soul' and, well, he wasn't wrong. Head west off it and you'll come across this...

Distance: 0.4 mls

Duke of Wellington

Since its makeover by the owners of the Brown Dog in Barnes, the Duke has attracted a moneyed clientele happy to splash out £30 on a decent Pouilly-Fumé or £55 on a...

Claridge's Bar

When we visited Claridge's on a Thursday night, they were standing three-deep at the bar - eager, it seems, to pay, as we did, £19 and £20 respectively for glasses...

Mayfair: Claridge's Hotel, 49 Brook Street, W1K 4HR

Distance: 0.4 mls

Occo Bar & Kitchen

This quiet Moroccan-inspired venue, subtly lit by flickering lanterns, is more of a restaurant than a boozer, which is in keeping with its laid-back feel. There's an...

Distance: 0.4 mls

Balls Brothers

Mayfair: 34 Brook Street, W1K 5DN

Distance: 0.4 mls

Coburg Bar

Luxurious, elegant and discreet, this is everything a good hotel bar should be. From the criminally comfortable, grey velvet, wing-backed chairs and chic, black glass...

Latest glam bar in The Connaught

Mayfair: 16 Carlos Place, W1K 2AL

The Punch Bowl

Guy Ritchie's pub in Mayfair

Mayfair: 41 Farm St, W1J 5RP

Trader Vic's

It's hard to know quite who this place is aimed at: it's too far from any of the major rail terminals or theatres for the bridge-and-tunnel crowd, and hardly somewhere...

Distance: 0.5 mls

The Bar at The Dorchester

To crown its recent refurbishment programme, The Dorchester has put the redesign of its landmark bar in the hands of Thierry Despont, a New York-based French architect...

Mayfair: 10C Hanover Square, W1S 1HN

Distance: 0.6 mls

Guinea

Tucked away in an attractive West End mews, the Guinea is a proper boozer - and there aren't many of those in this part of town. The largely besuited punters sup from...

Mayfair: 30 Bruton Place, W1J 6NL

Distance: 0.6 mls

Artesian

Breathtaking is the word for Artesian’s list of cocktails: order any three, add service, and you won’t get much change from £50. At least you’ll be drinking...

Distance: 0.6 mls

Royal Exchange

One of the best boozers within easy striking distance of Paddington, this is a cosy old school gaff with a dedication to fine beer and fine horses. By day, screens...

Victoria

Perched beside a mini-roundabout and posh Hyde Park mews, it's easy to see why the Victoria has drawn everyone from Dickens and Churchill to the Dracula Society. A...

Bayswater: 10A Strathern Place, W2 2NH

Distance: 0.6 mls

Only Running Footman

There's something gracious about many Mayfair pubs: disinclined to lay on satellite sport and all-night happy hours, the best retain an old-world charm. This is one...

Mayfair: 5 Charles Street, W1J 5DF

Distance: 0.6 mls

Polo Bar

Polo eschews the bland international style of so many hotel bars in favour of gorgeous art deco fittings that are just the right side of opulent; that's one reason...

Mayfair: Westbury Hotel, New Bond Street, W1S 2YF

Distance: 0.7 mls

Argyll Arms

The clientele at the impressive, historic, frosted-glass-and-mahogany Argyll Arms is almost as transitory as Oxford Circus, a stone's throw away. The pub was just as...
