Three of the best cocktail bars in London!
Longer days, shorter nights, the fresh smell of daffodils in the air, yes we can safely spring is in the air and summer is just round the corner. The warmer months, for many, simply beckon us for a pleasant evening drink, hence the popularity for the gardens of pubs and bars to be crammed with crowds of happy, care-free people enjoying an after-work drink on a warm summer’s evening. And as you don’t have to go far until you stumble across a pub or bar in London, consequently the capital is, quite possibly, one of the best cities in Europe to enjoy such a relaxing and enjoyable occasion.
Cocktail bars take the pleasurable prospect of the Friday-early-evening-after-work-drink a step further and, with so many cocktail bars offering a ‘happy hour’ during the early evening, a stop off at an exquisite cocktail bar in London on the way home from work on a Friday, needn’t cost the Earth!

Best bartender
Marco Pierre White recently crowned Ryan Chetiyawardana as the ‘UK’s Best Bartender’.
The final of World Class 2009 (bar tending golden globes equivalent) showcased the finest bar tending in the UK. The event took place at the Kent House, Knightsbridge.
Apparently the event pushed the finalists to the very limits of their capabilities with innovation, mixology and creativity at the heart of many challenges.
The ultimate James Bond Vodka Martini
We here at Wyndham love a good cocktail, that’s why we like to push the boundaries every now again, and serving up what was possibly the most expensive Martini last year for the launch of the new James Bond movie was certainly no exception.
