Why not start at the #1 bar in the world for an "all-in" cocktail bar experience? It will be pricey - and will also feel magical and special.
And/or, you can hit up one of London's most classically famous bars. Duke's Bar, the home of 007's "shaken, not stirred" martini, is an experience to be had. Yes, the cocktail is pricey (think $30+) but the experience of having your martini made, whether at the bar or via the rolling cart, via a bartender who's been working there for decades is worth it. Celebrity sitings are not uncommon here.
Another memorable drink (and certainly qutie classically touristy) is one at the top of the (in)famous London Shard. Skip the London Eye and do this instead. Combines well with a visit to the nearby The Borough Market and Padella restaurant.
For a wine bar experience, don't miss the Noble Rot, a darling of industry professionals.
If the weather cooperates, check out this roofop bar. We're not ones to favor chains, but The Standard London has stunningly unique views.
