Launched in 2010, London Cocktail Week partners with top cocktail bars across the city, ranging from hidden speakeasies to iconic hotel bars, live music venues and dreamy rooftop destinations, for a week of exciting promotions devoted to the art of mixology.
As part of the festival, each venue is encouraged to create a unique signature cocktail, especially for Cocktail Week. Cocktail connoisseurs can then buy a London Cocktail Week wristband and enjoy these special tipples for just £9 (or less!) at hundreds of different bars across London.
