After-work drinks in the City of London and Canary Wharf
The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping
The oldest riverside tavern in the country, and dating back to 1520, the Prospect of Whitby is the perfect place for after-work drinks in London if you're a history buff! With its 400-year-old stone flooring and a wine list worth writing home about, pop in for a drink just like thousands before.
Our recommendation? A glass of Côtes de Provence Rosé wine. Fruity, peppery and deliciously classy.
The Monument, Whitechapel
If it's after-work drinks with a side of live sport on the menu, the Monument is the pub for you. With Sky Sports and TNT Sports screens around the pub, you can catch the action, pint in hand. Just how it's meant to be!
The Monument lies between Fenchurch Street Station and Cannon Street Station, making it ideally located for after-work drinks in the city. Oh, and take a look at what's on draught – we won't spoil the surprise... But once you see our selection? You'll certainly be back for more.
After-work drinks in the South Bank
The Anchor, Bankside
Not only is the Anchor full of refreshing, delicious drinks, but it's also full of Shakespearean history! Seated on the banks of the River Thames, the Anchor boasts one of the best beer gardens in London (not that we're biased, or anything).
Ask our bartenders to mix up a fruity G&T and savour each sip with a beautiful view of London's skyline. How better to relax after a long day in the Excel sheets?
The George, Southwark
Just a stone's throw from London Bridge Station and King's College, the George is Southwark's must-visit pub for after-work drinks in London. When 5pm hits, it's got to be cocktails at the George!
Whether it's an Aperol Spritz, a Bloody Mary or the team's favourite Banana Old Fashioned, there are plenty of sweet, savoury and classic cocktails just waiting to be sipped.
After-work drinks in the West End (Soho & Covent Garden)
The Salisbury, Covent Garden
The Salisbury has been a famous celebrity hangout spot since the 1960s, making it a prime location for after-work drinks in Covent Garden and Soho.
Not far from Leicester Square Underground Station, the Salisbury has a drinks menu that's full of your favourite cocktails, punchy spirits and ice-cold pints of beer, all served from a uniquely horseshoe-shaped bar! Now, if that doesn't get you in the mood for a round after your last meeting, we don't know what will!
The Maple Leaf, Covent Garden
Our resident Canuk, The Maple Leaf is a Canadian-themed pub in London's iconic Covent Garden. Open from morning 'til night, the Maple Leaf boasts a classic, staple Canadian cocktail on its menu: the Caesar! With vodka, Clamato, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and horseraish, it's like a Bloody Mary's big sister... And it tastes even better!
But, if you're not feeling a Caesar after-work, the team can mix up a range of mocktails, cocktails, spirits and more to take your evening up a notch.
