Boisdale of Belgravia

This busy bar serves a healthy repertoire of traditional Scottish fare and nightly doses of live jazz. Dressed in the garb of a country pub – hardwood floors, oak paneling, tartan-inspired reds and greens, oil paintings – Boisdale pulls in folks from all walks of life. You can meet some real characters here – it is, after all, the politicos' hideaway of choice. When it's nice out, enjoy evening food and drink in the Courtyard Garden, which has a retractable roof. Each night, guests are treated to the cool, impromptu music of the Boisdale Blue Rhythm Band. TUBE: Victoria
