A relative newbie on the after-work drinks scene, London Cocktail Club isn't your average cocktail bar. Firstly, there's no flickering neon sign. Just a metal fire escape leading to what seems like the basement of the upstairs hairdressers. Inside, they serve the kind of cocktails Don Draper would order in a kitsch, punk-inspired setting. If you need another reason to visit, they've just relaunched their infamous cocktail masterclass i and i plus, they've asked Raymond Blanc to sort the Christmas party canapés.
