Artesian
Nestled in the iconic Langham Hotel, Artesian is a globally acclaimed cocktail lounge renowned for its daring creativity and sumptuous elegance. Designed by David Collins Studio, the bar features high ceilings, plush purple velvet seating, dramatic pagoda-style chandeliers, and an atmospheric mix of modern and classic details. A pioneer in mixology, Artesian has clinched the World's Best Bar title four years running (2011–2015) and continues to wow with innovative menus like “Ultimo” and “Alter Ego,” showcasing bold ingredients like chicory, daikon, mushroom, and rooibos alongside elevated bar bites crafted by Humble Chicken’s Angelo Sato. Signature pairing of inventive cocktails (around £20–£25 / $25 avg) with snacks like karaage, katsu sando, truffled churros, and tuna tartare makes for a full, refined tasting experience. Led by head bartender Giulia Cuccurullo and her expert team since 2018, Artesian blends artistry with precision—part science‑lab, part cinematic stage—for every pour. Whether you're there for swanky after-work drinks, a plush date-night, or a special occasion, the mood is always intimate, stylish, and refined.
