Bermondsey Arts Club

Here's an unusual one for you; ever thought as you sat relaxing on the WC, I know, this would make a great new bar?! Well, apparently that's close to what happened here at Bermondsey Arts Club which is set on the site of a former, dingy public convenience below street level. Once you've gotten over that rather off-putting (if intriguing) thought as you sup on your beautifully crafted £12 cocktail, you'll no doubt appreciate the magnitude of what they've achieved here. There are many hints to it's past (the tiled walls, black and white colours for example) but nothing to suggest a dingy and dirty past; instead this has become a decadant, beautifully restored and enhanced art-deco venue that makes you feel a million dollars as you prop up the bar with your old Negroni.
