Punch Room (The London EDITION)
Tucked discreetly at the rear of The London EDITION in Fitzrovia, Punch Room offers an indulgent escape. Step past the lobby and through a wood‑paneled door into a hushed, clubby retreat reminiscent of 19th‑century private members’ salons. Rich leather armchairs, dark oak panels, velvet banquettes, and the glow of a fireplace craft an atmosphere both timeless and theatrical. The bar is dedicated to the artistry of punch—a historic communal drink reinvented here with modern flair. Expect to be served cocktails from elegant silver tureens or individual glasses; either way, sharing is encouraged. Inventive offerings like the Milk Punch (featuring Hennessy, Havana Club rum, cider, brandy, green tea, pineapple, spices, and milk) and “A Sweet Treat” (with whisky, matcha, cream cheese, sherry, lemon, and milk) illustrate the creative depth of the menu. The experience is heightened by a curated soundtrack of vintage soul, jazz, reggae, and doo‑wop that drifts softly through the low-lit room. A reservations-only policy ensures exclusivity, while a complimentary “punch of the day” sherry sets the tone from the moment you arrive. With limited seating and meticulous attention from staff, Punch Room is perfect for quiet first dates, reconnecting with old friends over a bowl of punch, or simply indulging in a rich, slow-paced evening. It feels like being let into a secret with style.
