Next door to Langtry's Restaurant, this 1920s-style bar exemplifies the elegance of the Edwardian era. Lillie Langtry, the turn-of-the-century actress and beauty (and mistress of Edward VII), once lived here. Oscar Wilde -- arrested in this very bar -- is honored on the drinks menu with his favorite libation, the Hock and Seltzer (a combination of sweet white wine and seltzer). Traditional martinis seem to be the most popular drink here. An international menu is served in the adjoining restaurant.

188-196 Regent St., W1, Phone: 0870/3332-455.Tube: Oxford Circus.Also at Covent Garden and Heathrow Airport.
