Park Lane has long been recognised as one of the favourite haunts for the rich and famous of London – but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find some home comfort and welcoming experiences too. And for this, we’d advise you turn to the local pubs.
If you’re looking for something that combines luxury with a casual, laid-back atmosphere, here are some of the best pubs to visit around Park Lane and Mayfair.
Trader Vic’s
A Samoan themed location brimming with carved wood and beautiful places to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ambience. Trader Vic’s has been sitting in the Hilton ever since 1963. Whether you’re looking for a bite to eat, or somewhere to cool off just a short walk away from your central London serviced apartments, this is a great place to visit during your short stay in Mayfair. Make sure to order yourself a “London sour” too!
Audley
An interesting pub experience that displays much of the indulgence and luxury you might expect from a Park Lane location, Audley features a gilt interior and lots of beautiful woodwork. If you want a taste of London from the perspective of a local, then this is the place for you. Not far from your London serviced apartments, the Audley is often filled with regulars, because it’s slightly removed from the tourist trail.
The Punch Bowl
Best known for its appearance in films with Guy Ritchie and his famous pals, the Punch Bowl is a pretty standard local pub. Unless you’re a fan of movies, then the chances are this particular location will feel exactly like the pub experiences you’ll get anywhere else in England. If you’re looking for a taste of home, that might be perfect for you.
The Coburg Bar
Slightly more ’high-end’ than some of the other pubs on this list, the Coburg Bar is effortlessly beautiful and brimming with timeless charm. For a look into what it might feel like to enjoy a beer at one of the classiest establishments in London, take a short walk from your London serviced apartments to the Connaught.
Mahiki
Finally, for an un-traditional London experience, head along to Mahiki, a mock-Polynesian palace brimming with charm and fun. It’s easy to describe this pub as tacky, but that the theme it’s going for. If you’re looking for bags of fun with your drinks, then this is the place for you. It turns into more of a club in the evening, but for a few drinks somewhere a bit different, it’s worth a try in the early evening.
Make sure that before you head out for a night on the town, you’ve got somewhere comfortable to rest at the end of the day. Book your stay in your London serviced apartments now!
