Maison Assouline

Tucked just off Piccadilly, Maison Assouline feels less like a shop and more like stepping into a private vintage library.
Housed in a restored banking hall, the room is all high ceilings, dark wood and long shelves lined with Assouline’s signature titles - fashion, travel, art, design.
Upstairs also offers a secondary bar – smaller, but equally as stylish and perfect for people watching over one of the bar’s cocktails.
The menu is deliberately simple - a short list of classic cocktails (think negronis, martinis, champagne-led options), a considered edit of wines, and good coffee if you’re keeping things slower. Nothing overcomplicated, and all done properly.

Why we love it

- Manages to feel both elevated and relaxed, and is small enough to feel intimate without feeling crowded

- Perfect for a quiet hour between plans, relaxed evening drinks or when you want a central London spot that feels a little more considered

- A book bar by name and nature, so a relaxed atmosphere is guaranteed

The details that matter

- Complimentary cocktails and a homemade sweet treat on your birthday (for yourself and others)

- Signature Maison Assouline books available to browse and shop while you drink
