Beyond the mainstream streets and famed pubs of the Brits, London keeps a few tucked away places to binge on a few pints that at times, only a handful deserve to experience.
If in need of a private time with a lover, a confidante or possibly, for a top-secret client meeting prying ears should be far from, here are some of the hidden, speakeasy-inspired bars in London worth sneaking into.
1. Evans and Peel Detective Agency
Along Earls Court Road guests might be lucky enough to grace Evans and Peel Detective Agency, where they are urged to make a "strong case" (reservation) in the front desk in hopes of getting in.
It's an old-fashioned, elegant watering hole where there is not standing policy, it's truly an exclusive experience, complete with candles and a sophisticated array of getting sloshed.
2. Mizuwari
The Soho area of London is known for its stream of places to drink. Mizuwari, however caters exclusively to the hardcore whisky consumer, having one of the most extensive Japanese whisky selection in the land.
Tucked in a basement of Bincho Soho Japanese Restaurant, Mizuwari literally means 'to mix with water'. It's a place where one should be open minded enough to drink the highly creative and imaginative whisky combinations around.
3. Happiness Forgets
Truth be told, packed clubs are tiring. One deserves a really good stiff yet inexpensive drink in a hole in the wall, enjoying genuine conversations with close friends.
Happiness Forgets in Hoxton is an oxymoron in itself, as guests will surely remain quite happy while chugging down a few Guinness or house-mixed cocktails. However, reservations are a must, as it is a small place with a great sense of atmosphere anyone would want to be in for a laid back night.
4. Rules Cocktail Bar
If drinkers are on the lookout for something that time forgot, Rules Cocktail Bar stands a test against time and far from the 21st modern century style. An old fashioned bar with a lighter version of a gentleman's club, Rules is everything that is old, charming and very English.
Locals and travelers are guaranteed to leave the bar having a finer appreciation of what it really means to be British.
