Things to do in London, England: The Best Bars & Clubs

June 14, 2021 Karren Gelb

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Barts

Pssst… Become part of London’s worst kept secret! Somewhere on Sloane Avenue lies Barts, one of London’s first late-night speakeasy bars. Set in the 1920’s prohibition era as the private apartment of the elusive Uncle Barts, friends and associates are invited to join in the bootlegging activities operated by his gangsters. Sneak into the apartment through the black door to gain access to illicit cocktails and top secret shindigs, where you can also smuggle drinks into the Secret Garden to evade the cops! Every Saturday, our shady associates host a Criminali-Tea like no other, featuring liquor served in teapots and all-American 1920s-inspired sweet & savoury treats.

606 Club

Live performances of Jazz, Blues, Soul, Latin, R&B, Singer-songwriter, Gospel, Funk & Groove music!

Reviewed By 920gemma - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

We were on a visit to London for a few days and are fans of live music. After an interesting journey to the club with thousands of Chelsea AFC fans going to a home match we found the 606 Club. It is an intimate club with a great atmosphere. It is licenced as a supper club meaning you can only have alcohol with food. No problem dinner was excellent, my partner had 3 courses which is unheard of. We booked early so we could have dinner before the gig which worked really well. The creme brûlée was to die for. The band were good entertainment (£12.00 pp). It was a great evening, will certainly return.
