Today I want to bring you my guide to the best champagne bars in London. From hotels to train stations, they’re dotted throughout the city and are great places to enjoy a glass of bubbles.
Champagne Bars in London
I love champagne. Coincidentally, so do the British. Since moving to London I’ve imbibed more bubbly than ever before.
The city has a long list of places to sip champagne, and since I’ve been doing my fair share of it, I’ve put together a list of 5 great champagne bars in London.
1. Rake’s Cafe Bar
Rake’s Cafe Bar at the Andaz Liverpool Street hotel is a great place to sip champagne in London. This sumptuous bar has lots of bubbles on the menu, and it’s a great place to meet friends for post-work drinks.
2. The Connaught Bar
One of my favorite places to sip champagne in London is the Connaught Bar.
Their beautiful champagne coupes caught my eye on my first visit, and the steely Cubist-inspired interior always makes me feel like I’ve stepped into The Great Gatsby.
I was recently invited back to enjoy some bubbly in the cool ambiance of the bar, and was tempted to buy a whole set of the glasses to take home.
3. The Champagne Room
And speaking of The Connaught, their secret Champagne Room is another of the best champagne bars in London.
Hidden away at the back of the hotel, this pint-size place has an extensive, impressive list of bubbles. I’ve enjoyed cocktails here after a meal at Helene Darroze restaurant, too.
4. Searcys at St Pancras
Perhaps the most famous of all champagne bars in London, Searcys in St Pancras station is a long bar running next to the trains. I was invited for a drink last week, and I loved the romanticism of a pre-travel glass of bubbly.
The leather booths were classic and comfortable, and the extensive champagne list even had its own flavor guide. But the best thing about the experience was the press-for-champagne button. Amazing.
5. The Condorde Room at Heathrow
One of the most exclusive champagne bars in London is British Airways’ Concorde Room at Heathrow Terminal 5.
Open only to first class passengers, the lounge features premium vintage champagnes. It’s one of my favorite places for a pre-flight drink. Bon voyage!

I’ve still never had afternoon tea in England! It’s on my to-do list though. I’ve always wanted to sit and have a drink at Searcys when we pass it as well!
Nice! You should definitely do afternoon tea sometime! It’s such an institution here. And Searcys is great for pre-train champagne!
I wish I would have know about some of these when I was in London, next time!
Yeah, you’ll have to try some of them next time you visit London!
First, I am really liking this new blog page format. Really nice. Second, I have two new goals for when I visit London…fly first class on British Airways so I can sip champagne at their club and to buy my own adorable champagne coupes from the Connaught Bar.
Perfect! I like those goals!
