It is home to some of London’s nicest bars and pubs and you are never too far from one.  A couple of our favourites are; The Connaught Bar because it offers a classy place to enjoy a drink with simply stunning surroundings. There is also the Churchill Bar and Terrace which plays homage to one of Britain’s biggest political figures, Sir Winston Churchill. With elegant décor including Churchill’s letters, doddles and the books he read.  The drinks menu features cocktails and long gin drinks with home made tonics.  Delicious!  There is also a limited bar menu including some of Churchill’s favourite food including beef wellington and smoked salmon.
