The London Gin Joints That Rock

Some call it Mother’s Ruin, but we think this classic liquor doesn’t deserve the bad reputation. Sure, there’s no doubt that gin may have caused the fall of a reveler or two, but we’re exceptionally pleased that this old-fashioned tipple is making a comeback.

And, London's newest and hottest bars are embracing gin’s prodigal return with gusto. We’ve cherry-picked nine of our favorites — from fable-inspired wonderlands to speakeasies surreptitiously hidden in pie shops — and we convinced the bartenders to share recipes for their best cocktails. So, get ready to go out — or pick up a bottle of Tanqueray and stay in — either way, it’s time to enjoy some of the best drinks in London.
