The Toy Shop
32 Putney High Street,
SW15 1SQ

Oh and this place is open way past bedtime.
Everyone loves an
‘Underdog’
51-55 Bethnal
Green Road
Concealed in the
basement beneath the ever popular BrewDog,
Shoreditch is where
you’ll find the aptly named Underdog. You'll need to be chaperoned, probably by
a very retro-clothed waiter down the stairs where you can expect beer-infused
cocktails in a dimly lit bar with an abundance of charm. Bugsy Malone would
feel at home here surrounded by snakes curled in jars, random taxidermy and
small boxes inexplicably filled with human hair! This non-conformist bar is worth
a visit if you’re looking for a drink in a place with a little more speakeasy sparkle.
It’s pretty weird
– but we think we like it!
Opium
15-16 Gerrard
Street, Chinatown
Only once you
have found this place can you sample its incredible cocktails and delicious
food. The true definition of a secret bar if ever there was one; Opium is
concealed behind a very simple green door - you must buzz to enter and then
climb a long dark stairway to the orient above.
Set over three
floors the Asian cocktails and food with a contemporary London twist change
seasonally making this the perfect destination for an opulent dinner and
drinks. We promise you any date will be impressed!
The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town 12-16 Artillery Lane, Shoreditch, E1 7LS

Enter a basement
full of trinkets, vintage furniture and a bar clad in exposed brick and wood –
hidden behind a Smeg fridge door!? Only accessible by a cheeky request to see
'The Mayor' at the Breakfast Club bar upstairs, The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town
is a bar with eclectic taste.
The food offering
is small but delicious, it stocks only a small selection of spirits
but this makes the cocktail list no less creative – we recommend the
chilli and lemongrass twist on the Tommy’s Margarita!
Blues Kitchen Shoreditch
134 Curtain Road,
Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3AR

The menu features
favourites like Buffalo
wings, steaks and catfish, but it’s the drinks that steal the show with over
100 types of bourbon, draught beers from Hackney Wick and a selection of
cocktails.
Set across two
floors of this converted Victorian warehouse The Blues Kitchen’s décor is
completed with flecked tiling and powerful furniture along with dim lit tables which
sing out romance - it’s the perfect place to come to dine in the day and dance
through the night.
These are just
some of the hidden gems London has to offer – pay them a visit and let us know
what you think.
