10 of the best secret bars in London | Top Tens | Time Out London

Hey, we're here at Milk and Honey and we're going to show you 10 of the best secret bars in London. The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town is a dimly lit basement bar beneath the breakfast club in Spitalfield. How do you find it? Through the cafe's smeg fridge of course. Upstairs from Jason Arthurton's social eating house you'll find Blind Pig. Look under the vintage optician sign for the blindfolded hog door knocker. A bar within a bar out the back of Herne Hill's medical themed first aid box, Blinder has got a rundown prohibition vibe. Hackney Road's The Natural Philosopher takes residence in the converted storeroom of a Mac repair shop. Discount Suit Company may look like an old rundown tailor's but this is a place for very serious drinking in the dark. Experimental Cocktail Club isn't the kind of place you'd expect to find in Chinatown. In fact, it's not the kind of place you can expect to find very easily at all. Don't be surprised if you walk past the bar's unassuming battered door several times. Milk and Honey does classic cocktails on all four floors. It's open to non-members until 11pm. Happiness Begets is known for its impeccable cocktails and classy service. Opium is an eastern smoking den meets western hipster hangout. Find Chinese vases and burning incense mixed with a Evans & Peel Detective Agency sure does make a big noise about being secretive. Taking bookings for cases on its website, introducing you to the venue by intercom interrogation. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to check out Time Out's bar listings for more information. Cheers!
