Hidden bars, cafés and nights out in London

Find drinking dens where you'd least expect them

Bourne & Hollingsworth

Dinky, chintzy and hidden down a flight of steps, this single-room bar is like going back in time. It has the delightful ambience of a 1920s tearoom, complete with tablecloths and flowery wallpaper. Not that this place is twee by any stretch – their cocktails menu sees that the tone stays the right (or should that be the wrong?) side of Prohibition-era chic.

Bourne & Hollingsworth, 28 Rathbone Place, Fitzrovia, W1T 1JF (7636 8228/www.bourneandhollingsworth.com)

you who love excellent, groovy, not expencive hidden restaurant: try out "The Laughing Gravy"!
Fabulous athmosphere, excellent service and food. They had a beer that is produced in London! It was interesting.
Reserve before coming.

Enjoy and let me know if you agree with me.

Phew! for moment there I thought TO may have done its homework and were going to tell the world about some great bars and spots I like to visit (killing any point in ever going again). Thankfully I see they have just gone through back issues from last 10 years and just stuck random places in, which in truth may be quirky, but you wouldnt go twice!

Great little bar with lots of atmosphere. Haven't tried the food but the wide range of wines cannot be beaten. For the Oz and Kiwis, this is owned by Don Hewitson (Iain's brother).
