In London tomorrow- any good drinking hang-outs for vintage types?

The title says it all I hope! Just there for the night....

Have a martini at the bar at Duke's Hotel. It's not a place you can afford to spend an entire evening (unless you make a lot more money than I do), but splurging on one martini, made tableside, is sheer delight (and I don't even drink martinis, usually).

I missed the date, but I would have suggested heading up to Hampstead or Highgate...

Thanks guys ... I ended up having a few pints in the lovely Victorian surroundings of the Museum Tavern once frequented by Arthur Conan Doyle and Karl Marx!

I'll be there next summer to visit my mother, so this tavern will be on the visit list. Of course, they live outside of the city, but we can't go to the UK without seeing London...

I you are 'sarf' of the river, the Trafalgar Inn in Greenwich is lovely, not in a golden era way but a Georgian one!

I've not been there in over 20 years but the Blackfriar outside Blackfriars station had stunning deco fittings
