Nowhere else in the city so perfectly encapsulates London's pre-war extravagance like The Beaufort at The Savoy. You may go into a sensory coma upon entering (yes, that is £40,000 worth of gold leaf that you're looking at) but once you've settled in to the modern take on Art Deco opulence you may find it difficult to extricate yourself from that black velvet upholstery. The Beaufort in its newly refurbished form is a relatively new addition to the historic hotel, and its comeback reincorporated elements like the cabaret stage and a £60 glass of cuvee named after Sir Winston Churchill. The drinks are powerful and elegant (just like they liked 'em in the hotel's old-timey heyday) so if you want to keep your wits about you, go for a delicate cocktail like "Patience", which rings in at a mere £15 – an absolute bargain. (Hah.)
