SOUND

You'll find Sound buried in The Cumberland on Great Cumberland Place, just north of Marble Arch — the kind of spot that doesn't shout about itself but rewards those who know where to look. It's got that polished hotel bar feel without the stuffiness; the sort of place where bartenders actually care about what they're pouring and the crowd leans more towards locals and proper cocktail enthusiasts than conference delegates. The space feels intimate rather than cavernous, all dark wood and careful lighting, making it ideal for an actual conversation over a drink rather than shouting across a marble counter.
