Centrally located and within easy walking distance of the tube makes it the perfect place for a night out. From 5-star, award-winning bars to slightly more quirky settings with a fun edge, this neighbourhood has a lot to offer.

Stunning cocktails have the power to turn an average evening into one that we will never forget. The ingredients are key and so too are the surroundings. But it isn't all about the boozy spirits off the top shelf. There are many ‘virgin’ versions of the classics that still add a layer of sophistication and help get us in the mood for a top night out in Mayfair.
