Vesper Bar showcases strikingly beautiful, contemporary design from London’s interiors specialist, Martin Brudnizki. Inspired by the spirit and sophistication of the roaring thirties, the bar's playful, eye-catching atmosphere is simply a delight.

All in the name
The Vesper Martini first starred in the James Bond novel, Casino Royale, differing from Bond’s usual martini in that it uses both gin and vodka instead of dry vermouth, and lemon peel instead of an olive.
