The 13 best Mayfair pubsMayfair isn’t exactly the first place that comes to mind when you think of quality pubs.

Our 11 favourite Leicester Square barsGomorrah. Dis. Pandæmonium. Leicester Square. Few places strike fear into the heart of the humble traveller more than these loci of hell and despair.

The 5 best co*cktail bars in MayfairIf pints are the drink of the humble, then the co*cktail figures as something slightly more brash. There's an element of egotism in the shaking, the stirring, the pour and the increasingly inconvenient tumblers. Essentially, it's the Mayfair of drinks. Getting a co*cktail in Mayfair is a ludicrous experience that everyone should try. It normally involves moving money around offshore accounts, selling off state infrastructure and liquidating your uninhabited Mayfair penthouse. Yes, it can get expensive on the final monopoly square. Thankfully, there are still a few quality Mayfair co*cktail bars that won't cost a small kingdom. The drinks are, as you'd expect, masterfully made, the aesthetics bring out the best of London and the prices, mostly, stay reasonable.Here are Mayfair's best co*cktail bars. Read more

Immediately, you are probably thinking, out of all the places, why would I choose to go to a co*cktail bar in Victoria?

A major stopping point for the shepherds heading to Smithfield's meat market, the borough provided the thirsty drovers with plenty of places to wet the whistle.

We picked a handful of the best boozers in the area that you have to try. Read more

The 8 best bars in SohoFew areas can boast the pedigree of bars that Soho has. Every raconteur imaginable has called the square mile home. Marc Bolan used to assist his mum on Berwick Street market in the 1960s. Bowie caught his big break in a bar there. Peter O'Toole, Annie Morris and Tracy Emin developed their artistic and alcoholic sensibilities amongst the beer taps and discarded cigarette ends of Dean Street, Greek Street and, of course, Carnaby. Today things are slightly different. Soho's international reputation proceeds it. The roads and back alleys of the West End still run with beer and blood most Saturday nights, though it's of a distinctly touristic hue. As with every famous London hotspot, Soho often risks becoming a mausoleum to its own heyday. It's not all gentrified gloom and doom, though. There are plenty of classic Soho bars that honour the time-proven joy of sensory displacement, as well as a few new spots that are valiantly investing the area with new ideas, new drinks, and new characters. Here's a look at our favourite bars to have a drink at in Soho. Read more

The 5 best outdoor bars in VictoriaVictoria, probably best known for being a station, a queen and an excellent Kink's song covered by The Fall, is also a hub of fantastic outdoor bars.

The 5 best rooftop bars in SohoRooftops, whilst they've been around since we decided rain wasn't for us, they have had a bit of a renaissance in the age of Instagram and elevators.

Here are our top picks of Soho's best rooftop bars. Read more
Soho's 5 best beer gardensWe're not going to lie, Soho may not seem the most obvious of choices when it comes to beer gardens in London.The infamous square mile is more known for its winding streets and tight-knit dive bars than opulent gardens and sun-kissed patios.

Soho's 3 most unique venuesFew places can claim to have harnessed the unique spirit like Soho. Transitioning from farmland to London's go-to sex-shop hub, to the current iteration of bars, drunks and confused lonely planet-ers, Soho refuses to maintain a single identity. It is probably little shock, then, that London's favourite seedy hub has become one of the best places to discover truly unique spots. Whether it's off-kilter bars, live-sized capitalist board games or Hong Kong tea rooms, Soho will bring the weird to any event. Here are some of our top unusual picks in the West End. Read more
For the perfect summer in Soho, check out these 6 party venuesSoho may not strike you as the most obvious spot to spend your increasingly hot summer days. The packed lanes and alleys of Dean Street, Carnaby and Greek don't exactly rival the Amalfi Coast when it comes to getting a tan. That said, there is something going for Soho in the vaunted English sun. Maybe it's the history (which veers inarguably towards summer excess), maybe it's the sheer amount of bars and pubs packed into a square mile, maybe it's the people. Whatever it is, these summer party spots embrace that indescribable draw Soho has when it comes to the 1st of June. Just please, wear a T-shirt. Read more
Covent Garden's 5 best karaoke venuesThe rhythmic step of tourist footfall. The mechanical dings of contactless cards. The melodic buskers that puncture the air with their well-loved instruments. A chorus of chatter.

The 5 best Christmas dinner venues in Covent GardenMuch like festive lights at night, the crisp sheets of snow early in the morning and the faint smell of spiced mulled wines in the evening, Christmas dinners are another perk that come with the season.

Our selection of the 11 best Camden Town barsWe know there’s this idea that Camden had its heyday, that it’s not cool anymore, and while we want to grumble about the madness that is Camden High Street and the throngs of tourists after Amy Winehouse haunts, there are places worth travelling the Northern line for.Once you get off the High Street, or if you walk far enough away from the tube station, we think Camden is still the spot if you’re after dive bars. But to be somewhat comprehensive, we decided to give you a list ranging from pub to co*cktail bar to dive bar.Read more
Our favourite Camden co*cktail barsThe borough of Camden is one of the most spacious, stretching from central London into the north and northwest, it encompasses everything from Swiss Cottage to Kentish Town and the entirety of Hampstead Heath.

Some areas are cool and edgy, others quiet and swish, and still others busy and full of nightlife.This list is by no means exhaustive, but we made sure the fine establishments listed will take you on a journey across the borough.Read more
Our selection of the best Marylebone barsLet’s address the elephant in the room: neither tourists nor Londoners can agree on how to pronounce Marylebone. Some say Mary-lee-bone, others say Marla-bone, whilst others switch back and forth, unsure as everybody else what the actual pronunciation is. This neighbourhood is upscale with gorgeous architecture, and on some streets, it manages a village-like feel despite its location in hectic central London. Madame Tussauds and the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street are what lure tourists in. And the bars, restaurants, and boutique shops are what lure Londoners in.We do like the leafy green streets, and the nearness to Regent’s Park, but it’s really the jazzy co*cktail bars and gastropubs that lure us into this neighbourhood. Read on for our hot take on Marylebone bars. Read more
6 great Paddington co*cktail barsTwo images come to mind when we hear or read the word Paddington. The first is Paddington Bear even though we have neither read the books nor seen the films – the image exists in the London zeitgeist and we can’t shake it.Second, we think of the Paddington Basin with its canalside barges and Little Venice. We still think East London has more of a hold on canalside bars and nightlife compared to Paddington with its stately homes, and sleek shiny new-build flats and offices. It should be noted, however, that although it's relatively quiet, there is still plenty of nightlife in Paddington with several restaurants and bars serving the locals and the many people passing through Paddington Station.We went on a mission to suss out the best Paddington co*cktail bars and we present to you our findings below…Read more
Our selection of the best Marylebone co*cktail barsTourists find themselves in Marylebone to visit Madame Tussaud’s or the hometown of Sherlock Holmes, but locals know this chic neighbourhood has a lot more to offer. Step away from the hustle and bustle of central London and into the peace and quiet Marylebone has to offer. While we can’t agree on the pronunciation, we can agree that Marylebone has some of London’s best co*cktail bars. Sprinkled throughout, you will find speakeasies, jazz bars, and a wide array of libations.Read more
Our selection of Paddington barsThere are several good reasons you would need to know the Paddington bar scene. You have time to kill before catching a train. You’re starting a new job in one of the many offices in Paddington and you need a place for a post-work decompression pint. You’re organising a gathering with a few old friends based in different home counties and Paddington is the most convenient place transport-wise.Typically, that’d be about it. We don’t know many Londoners who want to go to Paddington for drinks outside of the above reasons. It’s always felt like we’ve all been waiting for the area to acquire a bit of character. Between the station, the hotels, and the office blocks, that elusive character has been hard to come by. But – and this is a heavily emphasised ‘but’ – London is changing all the time. We look forward to being proven wrong about Paddington’s character, so we went out to see how the bar and pub scene in the area has changed. We’ll let you make up your mind.Read more
All about Marylebone wine barsMarylebone – picturesque tree-lined streets of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian buildings, many of which have been re-purposed into cafés, bars and boutique hotels, this genteel aspect of London draws in tourists and Londoners alike.

London's 10 best birthday restaurants The plates are cleared. The waiters retreat to the kitchen. All is well, all is good. Suddenly, like a noxious mist, a hush falls across the London restaurant.

Step 1: Finding the Perfect Bar

First things first, you need to find the perfect Soho co*cktail bar. Don't just pick the first one you see, that's like settling for the first date you get on Tinder. Take your time and do your research. Look for a place that has character, charm, and most importantly, a well-stocked bar.

Step 2: Making a Reservation

Once you've got a good idea of what you're looking for, submit a brief with HeadBox. We'll circulate your brief with the best co*cktail bars in Soho, meaning you'll hear back from those that can accommodate your private booking.

Step 3: Planning the Party

Now that you've secured your reservation, it's time to plan the party. This is where the real fun begins. You'll need to decide on a theme, create a guest list, and choose the co*cktails. Pro tip: make sure to include some non-alcoholic options for your designated driver or your teetotaler friends.

Step 4: Dress to Impress

On the day of the party, make sure to dress to impress. This is a Soho co*cktail bar, not a dive bar in the middle of nowhere. You want to look good, feel good, and most importantly, drink well.

Step 5: Let the Good Times Roll

Finally, it's time to let the good times roll. Get your guests in the mood with some lively music, tasty snacks, and of course, delicious co*cktails. Make sure to take plenty of pictures to document the night's shenanigans, and don't forget to tip your bartender generously.

Hiring out a Soho co*cktail bar is a surefire way to have a memorable and fun night out. Just remember, to find the perfect bar, negotiate like a pro, plan a killer party, dress to impress, and most importantly, let the good times roll! Cheers to that!
