Let’s be honest – we’ve all heard of London’s famous bars and pubs and always wanted to visit one. Let’s be honest again – we don’t usually have the money to drop by the bar stand and casually order a £10 cocktail. Well, the good news is, lots and lots of bars all over London have quite attractive offers for their Happy Hours. So, here is a handy list of bars and pubs in different parts of London with their Happy Hour offers!

The Abbey Tavern
- Drinks: Cocktails
Drinking in the Abbey tavern will look more like gathering at a party thrown by an old, but estranged with time, friend. A simple interior and brick walls are organically combined with the colourful bunting. Best to come at 12-4 pm time, when they offer two drinks for just £10!
Lock Tavern
- Drinks: Beers

Bar story
- Drinks: Cocktails
Easily confused with an entrance to the service facilities, the door/gate to the Bar story doesn’t wave at you to enter.

Their cocktail prices go as low as two for £8 during their happy hours from 6-7 pm daily.
Rum Kitchen (Brixton)
