It's just possible, of course, that there's more than one contender for this title, depending on the country. But at the very top of the UK list is the bar at the St Pancras hotel, which has the best imaginable Victorian decor. It also has (a) a quire superb cocktail menu (tonight was, for me, The Beekeeper, which involved lavender-infused Bombay Sapphire gin, Melfort Farm honey, sloe gin, lemon, hibiscus and elderflower - all of this curated - doubtless that's the only possible word - by Marcus Wareing) and (b) a truly crazy clientele who always seem to be having very public illicit affairs. Such a fun and elegantly louche place ...
