City of London Distillery offers a unique cocktail bar experience. Not only do the bright copper stills bring unique and unusual interest to the distillery bar, they also fill the air with the aromatic gin vapour- there's no other gin bar in central London quite like it!

That’s why the Evening Standard featured City of London Distillery & Bar as one of the best places to drink gin in London.

A range of gin experiences are also available: tours, tastings and distilling classes. All are bookable via the website. Gift vouchers for these are also available to buy online.

Please note this venue's licence is for over-18s and you may be asked for ID if you appear to be under 25. Thank you!

Apparently, they don't understand the meaning of 'reservation' as they refused to honour ours.

Super fun experience. We couldn’t get in for a tour but booked a table and had a couple wonderful cocktails and a cheese and meat board. The gentleman that helped us was very informative and entertaining.
