London's most stylish bars revealed

The ultimate insider’s guide to the capital, London Style Bars – the latest in the Deck of Secrets series - unveils 52 of the finest style bars and pubs in town within a practical, compact playing card box.

The cards uncover London’s most distinctive drinking establishments for all occasions from the iconic Champagne Bar at St. Pancras and fabulously decadent Bar at The Dorchester to the subterranean charm of Bedford & Strand’s wine room. Take a tour through the endless daiquiris, rum, whiskey and cocktail list at The Artesian at the Langham Hotel, indulge in the snazzy snacks at Southbank’s Benugo Bar & Kitchen or dance the night away at the seductive Cuckoo Club.

Michelle Matthews, concept creator of the Deck of Secrets series says: “The cards aim to represent what stylish drinking in London is all about, including places that clued-up locals love and savvy visitors thrill to stumble upon.

“London has more bars than ever, and this is the ultimate guide to take visitors and Londoners on a journey of taste and discovery. Whilst location is important, the bars we have included in the deck provide guests with more than a drink. The bars provide an experience” Matthews added.

London is well renowned for its drinking scene. The deck of London Style Bars showcases the very best. Each of the 52 cards reveals a different bar together with a lively description, its opening hours, address, website and a photo to give you an insight into the vibe of the venue.

A map on the reverse proves invaluable for navigating your way to seek out the city’s more elusive venues.

The cards can be purchased online at deckofsecrets.com or amazon.co.uk and from selected retail outlets including Waterstones, Borders, Stanfords and selected W H Smiths stores. At an affordable £4.99 a deck, they are cheaper than a martini!
