London Short List

Amber: One of the best cocktail bars in the world - they excel at dry and floral drinks. Don't skip the food though, the katsu sando deserves its hype! Minimalist interior, friendly staff, fire playlist.

Amber: Small and old school. You're here for the negronis. Get a flight :)

Manny Guzman: This tiny bar tucked just north of the city of London near the trendy neighborhood of Shoreditch stands two brothers serving up a menu of seasonal cocktails worth the trip.

CNN: The Connaught Hotel's signature bar is a triple threat: it's got killer cocktails, a prime London address and is an architectural marvel. Read more.

Jon Moore: Amazing food. Everything was delicious. We chose the set menu and left absolutely stuffed. Queue time is long but you can go and get a drink nearby if you leave your number. Well worth it 🍛 🍸

Amber: Awesome prices for awesome pasta! No reservations so there's always a line, but it seems to move quickly. Not a bad thing on the menu, sit at the counter to see everything made in front of you :)

Lufthansa: Open 24/7, this bakery exudes a rough Cockney charm. Main attractions: salt beef and an entertaining customer mix.
