In regards to the interior, Kwant, Mayfair, has beautifully hand painted walls, decorated by French Artist Alain Grandne. Grandne designed a display of green foliage on the central back wall, creating a tropical theme, amongst the intricate lighting, addition of Bamboo Leaves and the elegant, plush seating. This tropical theme is combined with a sense of sophistication and class whilst creating a unique ambiance, treating guests to a new London bar with a difference. There are 24 alcoholic drinks on the menu, and also five non-alcoholic, many incorporating herbs which are grown in-house, carefully monitored to ensure they enhance the flavour of each cocktail that they're included in, giving each beverage a new and unique flavour that can't be found anywhere else in London.

One a gym haven, now — amongst other things — a gin haven, Jack Solomon’s is a fantastic Soho bar notable for the way in which it matches the vibrant character of its surrounding area , toe to toe, swing by swing. A match made in heaven. One of the most interesting bar’s in London — Solomon’s is fashioned as something of a speak-easy, preferring to invest in the wonderfully eclectic Prohibition era of drinking and socialising, where every figure to the left of the bar had a story to whisper in the night. Despite its namesake (the iconic cockney boxer) this elusive, exclusive bar has somehow utterly transformed its old boxing gym interior whilst holding onto the core spirit of the ring. They won’t ask you to last a round, simply share a few to order.

The showstopping, preformative pantomime of the archaic version of the English sport of boxing is still present with plush stage curtains that frame low-lit dining booths. No cage fighting – not anymore, but the vast array of bottles are shelved into chic cage-blocks mounted on the wall behind the cosy bar, and blindingly illuminated from behind (perhaps the spectacle is part of the fantasy, something slightly pervasive about the presence of the drinks that recalls that illicit cheekiness of american speakeasy — if so, it works a treat!).

The rich, dark carpeting, hidey-hole tables and lamplight glow holds onto the mystique of the underground fight club but has all the elegance of a parlour. The enchanting interior plays host to a dazzling array of exclusive entertainment — much more pleasant than a bust-up but equally vivacious: DJ Optimus Funk and Kristy Harper are regular stars, and with Drag nights and retro nights available, you can bet there’s always something astonishing calling you to join the fray.

At Jack Solomon’s the drinks certainly pack a punch. There’s simple pleasures that keep to the theme (the Four Pure American Pale Ale, for one), but ask the mixologists about the real heavy hitters. The ‘knockout’ cocktail is a long favourite, with Chivas Regal 12, Licor 43, Baristo and Creme de Noisette. Meanwhile, the ‘Jolly Jack’ perfectly honours the Solomon Spirit with a bold base and sweet finishing sting (Pomegranate and Basil Tonic faced down Rosemary-Thyme infused Boxers gin and strawberry in a showdown where everyone wins).

For a thematic Soho night that honours old London while harbouring exciting new memories for every visitor, throw down your glove at Jack Solomon’s Speakeasy bar when you can.

  The Waterfront of Canary Wharf is a testament to this city's most pristine, cut-glass beauty. Views such as the likes of Humble Grape's capturing the zygoma of East London, and with it the mirage of Londoners sipping and dining out by the bay; they refract and reflect the best of us back at ourselves, ready for admiring Humble Grape, a fantastic wine bar that shouldn't shy away from its equal credentials as a fantastic low=key restaurant, knows how to make the most of the view. The space inside is left open and lofty with low-hanging, green-sprout baskets that hang intermittently over the continuous sofa=back seating. The tables are the intermittent cabin windows, the calm water outside a constant presence. Ut's the perfect storm to work up a powerful thirst in guests -- and good thing too, because they have over 400 wines on the menu, available by the bottle. This genteel bar aims to put value back in the uninhibited enjoyment of luxurious wine flavours, not just the name: they source sustainable and with producers they have tended personal relationships with/. The result? Fantastic, courteously fun events like their regular Tasting Tuesdays, where we (along with all visitors that day) sampled 4 mini test beverages following the inspiration brought on by Humble's Grape's team training day. At the risk of underselling the enormous bounty of exclusive beverages on offer-- we have to earnestly recommend Les freres Laffitte Rose -- its red fruit and berry twang matching the sweet, naturalistic scenery of the waterfront bar to a T. When in doubt, simply turn to the wait staff like we did, they take not just pride but joy in recommending something of interest -- no snobbery here, for all its elegiac riverside presence. (There's even an inordinate selection of Rums, Gins and even tequila's if you're not in the mood for a bottle.) With an early start and late finish every day of the week, Humble Grape also offers nourishment of the body and not just of the wine palette -- the Humble Grape Iconic Baked Camembert came in so many options we had to try them all: Honey and hazelnut for the sweet-tooth, or rosemary and Garlic to compliment those with a glass of something smokier to hand. And if you need a little boost to kick start an evening of sampling -- try the 'retox' (genius) blast of their whizz fizz bloody humble Mary. This Bar may be humble, but it has nothing to shrink from, it's a fabulous venue where the liquid inside is on equal glory with the liquefied horizon outside the front door. With bookings of up to twenty people for glamorous waterfront parties -- don't miss your chance to visit.
