Sprout Bar

Head down to Templeton Place and you'll find yourself in a room that feels like someone's invited you to their really good flat. Sprout Bar does that rare thing: it takes cocktails seriously without making you feel like you need a second mortgage or a password to get in. The bartenders actually know what they're doing, which matters when you're ordering drinks, and there's a genuinely warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a second round. It's the kind of place that makes Earl's Court feel less like a tourist corridor and more like an actual neighbourhood.
