This Grade II listed building is the former home of subterranean Turkish baths, and all the decadence of its past glory remains. Stunning jewel tones and intricate detailing provide a setting that is as sophisticated as it is magnificent. The venue is perfect for unique events for up to 150 guests, or, if you’re simply looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, the venue’s By Appointment Only cocktail bar is ideal for chilled out drinks.

7. Circolo Popolare, Fitzrovia

Could this be London’s most Instagrammable restaurant? Circolo Popolare is the master of outrageous opulence, and a scroll through Instagram will have you just as likely to find drool-worthy photos of its extravagant Sicilian feasts as it will its famed bottle-lined walls. In addition to the 20,000 bottles framing the restaurant’s interior, masses of plants and whimsical festoon lighting adorn a venue that is nothing but maximalist. Simply put, this venue has everything your devilishly fun self could ever desire.

8. Coppa Club, Tower Bridge

Whatever the season, whatever the occasion, Coppa Club is the answer. While the interior is home to an elegant brass bar and marble-floored restaurant, the real star of the show is the riverside terrace. After a seasonal stint as tropical surfer shacks, Coppa Club’s iconic igloos are back for winter. Overlooking the Thames, these pods boast enviable views of landmarks including Tower Bridge and The Shard, and come nighttime, the city lights up to reveal a landscape of spectacular beauty. Between the cozy igloos, festive terrace lighting and great views, your ‘gram game will never have been stronger.

9. The Vaults, Waterloo

Hidden beneath Britain’s busiest station, this underground maze of disused railway arches couldn’t be a farther cry from above ground Waterloo. A trove of alternative arts and immersive theatre, there are no guarantees here, except that you will be amazed. Before you even arrive in The Vaults themselves, Leake Street graffiti tunnel exhibits an ever-changing expression of street art. The free for all nature of this tunnel means that every visit will bring with it new pieces to photograph. Within the vaults, various rooms play host to artists from all vocations, each bringing something entirely different to the space. To step into The Vaults is to step into the unknown, with extraordinary rewards.

10. Puttshack, White City

Already West London’s coolest venue, and with a new location soon to be opened in Bank, Puttshack provides not only the perfect opportunity to show off your mad tekkers, but also endless photo opps. Picture with your golf club? Check. Picture of the retro, neon filled bar? Check. Picture of your name sitting triumphantly at the top of the leaderboard? Che…Okay, that one might be optimistic. The bottom line is, Puttshack is certain to light up your Instagram and your social life.
