Swift This little gem in the middle of Soho serves first class cocktails on two beautifully decorated floors. Book in for the dark and atmospheric speakeasy bar downstairs where there is a piano and live music sessions on Sundays. The barman are friendly and attentive so you can sit at the bar enjoying your drinks, watching them expertly mix cocktails. Top tip: make a reservation in advance for the downstairs bar as space is limited. It fills up - even in a Monday night - and on a Saturday night is loud, crowded and buzzing. Recommended.
