Below

You descend into Below like you're entering some sort of velvet-lined secret society—which, frankly, is half the appeal. Tucked underneath the bustling Piccadilly streets, this place has nailed that speakeasy vibe without feeling like a gimmick. The cocktails are genuinely excellent; the bartenders know what they're doing and won't just sling you something sugary. It's the kind of spot where you actually want to sit down, order something properly crafted, and spend an evening. The crowd skews sophisticated but not stuffy—think after-work drinks that turn into proper nights out rather than somewhere you need to dress up within an inch of your life.
