The 10 best bars near Oxford Street


The truth of the matter is that pubs don't always do it for us. Sometimes we need a more sophisticated atmosphere, away from beer-dampened pubs and loud football fans. And that's okay. Every now and then, a delicious cocktail to hand, made by a resident mixologist and someone to dress up for, is just what was needed.


When it comes to one of the busiest streets in London, Oxford Street spoils you for choice, making it very difficult to find and pick the right bar for you.


But don't worry, as we have done the research already.


So here are the top ten hotspots to have a drink at near Oxford Street.
