The best pubs in central London

A great hideaway to know about in an area known for touristy pubs
What's the vibe? A stripped-down drinking den with a wealth of Italian liqueur behind the bar.
When to visit: When you fancy something a little classier than a sauv blanc and soda at a nearby Sam Smith's.
Drink this: The spritz (Aperol or Campari) between the hours of 4pm and 6pm, when they're only £5 each.

This Russell Norman bar and restaurant gets a revamp to put it in line with its parent group, the Italian ‘small plates’ chain Polpo.
Take the back entrance into this fifth Polpo branch and immediately head downstairs. You'll enter a dusky, rustic cavern with bare concrete walls and a few flickering candles. This is where Soho and Covent Garden media types sip negronis until it's as dark outside as it is inside. It’s yet another ‘speakeasy’, what with its basement location, miniature dark wood stools and general lack of lighting, but this covert boozer wasn't born in the USA. Like the restaurant above, Dive Bar is Venetian-inspired (Aperol, Campari and Cynar mixes dominate the menu) and it serves some of the best spritzes in town. A great hideaway to know about in an area known for touristy pubs.

(The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
