In the cosmopolitan city of London, the choice of cocktail bars is like no other; whether you want chic and sophisticated or authentic and quirky, this buzzing metropolis of ours, will deliver the goods.

This week the London Living team took on the challenge of uncovering London’s most excellent, innovative and unique cocktail bars (we know, we know, it’s a hard job, but someone’s got to do it)

After hours spent trawling the streets of London, followed by a succession of heated debates in the boardroom (aka the bar) we were finally able to agree on a London Living Cocktail Shortlist.

It was a close call!
