Evans and Peel Detective Agency

310c Earls Court Road, London, SW5 9BA 

Whether you love or loathe them, Prohibition-themed bars are all the rage at the moment, so we couldn’t possibly get through this post without mentioning two of the coolest. Probably the most committed to sticking to their shtick, you shouldn’t expect to just walk into Evans and Peel Detective Agency without a proper cover story. If you manage to impress The Detective, you’ll be allowed to enter the bar through a secret door hidden in a bookcase. Inside, it’s all off-white tile, American-style cocktails taking their names from real and fictional moonshiners, bootleggers and bandits including Al Capone and John Dillinger. There’s even a Tommy Shelby cocktail, a nod to TV series Peaky Blinders.

A fantastic cool and quirky speakeasy bar.
