Bourne & Hollingsworth (Bar, Club)

We’re suckers for all things vintage (love a good polka dot) so a small basement (there’s that word again) bar bedecked in frilly lampshades, lacy tablecloths, parquet floor, and floral wallpaper puts us in mind to use the word “delightful” in an exaggerated posh English accent. They even have shelves of books in the loos. Seemingly designed by a conference of grannies, this bar offers cocktails in teacups and jam jars. A good place to hide before the sirens go off and the blanket bombing begins (pity they didn’t bomb London with actual blankets).

“Went to The Wandering bar a couple of weeks ago (set up in the Amnesty International HQ). Such a fantastic night. I love the quirkiness of Bourne & Hollingsworth in Fitzrovia - everything from the cocktails in teacups and jam jars, DJ and decor are just wonderful. Only thing with the wandering bar was the cocktails weren't up to the high standard set by B&H - at times they were way too strong and one friend commented that the cocktails tasted like rocket fuel and I was inclined to agree. We stuck to gin and tonics for the rest of the night.”

“Very quirky bar & the Prohibition nights are fantastic fun! Need to dress the part though, as you'll feel under-dressed.....”
