London Lounges Overview

London’s nightlife scene can be hectic and wild between the hottest music venues, clubs, and crazy bars – but for something more relaxed, refined, and laid-back, the lounges in London make for the perfect alternative from the clubbing chaos.

Some of the most interesting venues in London are the wide array of lounges set across the city. There is no central spot for what’s best as the establishments can be found in Mayfair, Chelsea, Notting Hill, Soho, Dalston, and Shoreditch alike.

There are London lounges that feature live jazz, others that serve mixological masterpieces, while more start out docile but turn into booming clubs later on in the night. And for those looking to take out a date, you can’t go wrong with the lounges in the city as there are some of the chicest and coolest high-end spots, hidden away haunts, and non-descript drinking dens that are sure to impress.

So if you’re looking for a quiet place to chat with a group of friends, a secret rendezvous hideaway, a members only joint, or a quirky cocktail lounge, you can’t really go wrong with the vast array of options that London provides any night of the week.
