Hidden London Highlight
A highlight of our craft cocktail menu is “Strand”, inspired by one of a handful of disused Tube stations hidden beneath London. It’s seen more camera crews than commuters since it closed in 1994 - but you can still visit on an exclusive guided tour held by London Transport Museum as part of their Hidden London programme.
