#SECRET HIDDEN BAR WINDOWS#

Where: 461-465 North End Road, Fulham, SW6 1NZĮvans & Peel Detective Agency is one of London’s most famous hidden bars, but now they are getting a sibling bar, in the form of Evans & Peel Pharmacy, which is set to open at the end of this month.

Cellar (formerly Below the Cut) is a 1920s basement bar beneath Hanger, the steak restaurant on North End Road. Encouraging our sinful sides through tequila, it’s said they do a pretty good Frozen Margarita…įulham, home to the Made in Chelsea cast, Chelsea football team and a few good pubs…is what most people think, but dig a little deeper and it also has it’s hidden bars, they’re just so well hidden that you really have to be in the know.
A homely little spot, you’ll find sofas and a fire, but also wallpaper adorned with gold skull – they’ve got to have a beastly side to it after all. Somewhere in Brixton (89B Acre Lane, soz but you will actually need to know where it is so you can go) there’s a door and behind that door is a flight of stairs that will take you to two floors of live music, cocktails and food. Where: 16-18 St James's Place, Mayfair, London, SW1A 1NJ, United Kingdom And with the cellar able to store up to 8,000 bottles of the finest wine, that’s a lot of wine to try.

You’ll be led to a door that is protected by an ever-changing code, through that door is a corridor and at the end of that corridor is a room, a room whose sole purpose (according to the website) is ‘cocktails, cocktails, cocktails.’ We can also testify to this – the only praying you’ll be doing is that you don’t have a hangover the next day.

Everywhere you look in London there are bars, the streets are filled with them, but what about the places you aren’t looking?
