As the nights draw in with the autumn chill all thoughts turn to whisky, of course. This whisky shop with a hidden bar is one of the capital's best places to take someone on a tête-à-tête, who wouldn't be wowed seeing their date subtly push a book-lined wall back to reveal a dark, intimate drinking den in the basement? Although whisky-focused, there is a fine selection of seasonal cocktails and some pretty decent wines too. An open secret among London's bar-hoppers, it can be hard to get a table so book ahead to be on the safe side.
