Swanky Bars in London

The best swanky bars in London are best for those nights when you just want to treat yourself or the person you're with. Whilst some may dismiss these bars as posh, the best swanky bars have a show-off factor which can't be found in your average upmarket bar. Prepare to be dazzled.

333 Mother
A Shoreditch fixture with young crowds dancing to soul, electro and all manner of unfashionable pop ditties. It's cool because it's UN-fashionable? You see?

The Library Bar
A stunning bar within the Lanesborough Hotel with ornate and decadent interiors giving the impression that this venue has been here for centuries. In fact it used to be a hospital in the 1980s.
