4. The Soho cocktail bar for the gin-curious: London Gin Club

Soho, London

If it's gins that inspire, you'd be a mug to miss the London Gin Club, home to over 100 varieties of the city's favourite spirit. As you'd expect, a plethora of G&T twists are on the menu, but a compact set of ginless alternatives are also on offer for the juniper averse. Relax with a friend in their tasteful street-level public bar, or head below decks to discover the Gin Vault, a hireable space for groups of 20. Chin chin!

5. The Soho cocktail bar with a terrific terrace: Ham Yard Hotel

Soho, London

If you've got 100 guests to bedazzle - and are happy to share the space with some amiable honeybees - then Ham Yard Hotel's herb-filled roof terrace is not to be missed. The plants surrounding you are put to invigorating use in the cocktail bar's homemade syrups, bitters and tonic: there's thyme fat-washed tequila in the Black Margarita, for example, and homemade orange syrup in sparkling champagne cocktails. It's practically saving the planet, one drink at a time – about as bucolic as it gets for central London.
