Notting Hill's “temple to good booze and fine living,” Trailer Happiness was a few steps ahead of the London cocktail craze when they opened in back in ’03. It’s still a good spot to keep in mind for mixed drinks in a casual setting. Trailer H bartenders know their rum ... and how to mix it. Londonist sincerely appreciates that.......

Monopoly pub crawl? Boring. Circle Line pub crawl? Banned. It's high time someone developed a few new drinking tours around the capital. We started off with a sojourn around the variable boozers of London's train stations. Our conclusion? Nice, grim, grim, oooo, not so grim, grim, grim, ug. Now, to mark the opening of the Royal Institution's plush new bar and restaurant (more on that later this month), we decided to raise a glass......

The Queen Mother may be dead, but suspicions that her boozehound ways remain were given succour on Wednesday when twelve barrels of lager were delivered to Windsor Castle mere hours before the Croatia-England match kicked off. Our royal family and the national game aren't natural bedfellows: the blue bloods tend to prefer classier sports like foxhunting, horsey dancing, and sneering at the masses, while Princes Hazza 'n Wills trot out a St George flag......

Those pesky planning developers are moving in again, this time threatening the pleasure-paved streets of Shoreditch with high-rise towers to house businesses. At the heart of the controversial Bishop's Place scheme is a plan to construct a 51-storey tower in the locality, which will replace a 19th century building that houses the area’s much-loved Light Bar. Once a seedy den of music hall, theatre, vice and booze, Shoreditch is now known for its, er,......

Whether seasoned alcoholic, pre-big-night-out-prepper or civilised imbiber of post work ale tomorrow's your last chance to legally sup an alcoholic beverage on the tube, DLR or buses. The minute our new Mayor announced this, Facebook groups started springing up with the inevitably super idea of Underground parties to mark the momentous passing of public transport subterranean boozing. They soon morphed into one big Circle line shebang comprising a gentrified cocktail party (elegant dress preferred)......

Have you heard? Boris is banning booze on all London transport come the first of June! Do you care? Many of your fellow Londoners do! And they’re planning parties to prove it. Grassroots campaigns both to bid adieu to booze cruising on the Tube and to openly flout the new ban are sprouting up all over – where else? – Facebook. Garnering the most attention is James Darling’s Last Orders on the Underground. The......
