Claridge's Bar

Housed in one of Mayfair's most exclusive hotels, Claridge's boasts pre-World War II aesthetics, as seen in the Art Deco-inspired furniture, bar, chandelier, and high ceilings. Members of the privileged class – hotel guests and discerning locals alike – are prone to take early evening cocktails here, availing themselves of courteous bar service and high-end cuisine (Beluga caviar, foie gras, and tempura-smoked eel, for example). Cigar aficionados are also pleased to find that Claridge's stocks an impressive supply of premium cigars. TUBE: Bond Street
