Best Late-Night Spots

When the kitchen closes elsewhere

Mayfair's late night is shorter than London thinks. These are the rooms that take a real reservation after 10:30, and the bars and clubs that pour confidently until 3.

01Bar & Club
Annabel's

Annabel's

Modern European££££Berkeley Square

Editor’s note: The original Mayfair members' club, still the late-night benchmark. Membership only - bring a member.

The most famous members club in the world. Annabel's garden-inspired interiors are a masterpiece of maximalist design — multiple restaurants, bars and a nightclub spread across a magnificent Berkeley Square townhouse.

5 Hertford Street

British££££Hertford Street

Editor’s note: Quieter, more old-money, equally late. The roof terrace is the prize.

Robin Birley's ultra-exclusive private members' club in a Shepherd Market townhouse is arguably London's most desirable address. Covering three floors, it includes a restaurant, bar, nightclub and cinema — all impeccably designed.

The Arts Club

The Arts Club

Modern European££££Mayfair

Editor’s note: Dover Street institution. Music room downstairs, restaurant upstairs, open late.

Mayfair's premier club for the creative industries. The Arts Club on Dover Street draws artists, writers, musicians and their admirers — with exceptional dining, a gallery programme and a lively bar.

Sexy Fish

Sexy Fish

Asian££££Berkeley Square

Editor’s note: Berkeley Square. Loud, dressy, a kitchen that goes longer than most.

Richard Caring's most theatrical restaurant. The Frank Gehry fish sculptures, Damien Hirst mermaids and coral ceiling make this one of London's most visually arresting rooms — and the food more than keeps up.

Novikov

Novikov

Asian/Italian£££Mayfair

Editor’s note: Two restaurants, a lounge, and Asian-Italian late-night small plates until close.

Two restaurants in one — an Asian restaurant and an Italian trattoria, both buzzing with energy.
