The ultimate insider�s guide to the capital, London Style Bars � the latest in the Deck of Secrets series - unveils 52 of the finest style bars and pubs in town within a practical, compact playing card box.

The cards uncover London�s most distinctive drinking establishments for all occasions from the iconic Champagne Bar at St. Pancras and fabulously decadent Bar at The Dorchester to the subterranean charm of Bedford & Strand�s wine room. Take a tour through the endless daiquiris, rum, whiskey and cocktail list at The Artesian at the Langham Hotel, indulge in the snazzy snacks at Southbank�s Benugo Bar & Kitchen or dance the night away at the seductive Cuckoo Club.

Michelle Matthews, concept creator of the Deck of Secrets series says: �The cards aim to represent what stylish drinking in London is all about, including places that clued-up locals love and savvy visitors thrill to stumble upon.

�London has more bars than ever, and this is the ultimate guide to take visitors and Londoners on a journey of taste and discovery. Whilst location is important, the bars we have included in the deck provide guests with more than a drink. The bars provide an experience� Matthews added.

London is well renowned for its drinking scene. The deck of London Style Bars showcases the very best. Each of the 52 cards reveals a different bar together with a lively description, its opening hours, address, website and a photo to give you an insight into the vibe of the venue.
