About

Ground floor and outdoor tables at London Cocktail Exchange, Windmill Street

The Ground Floor

All them sunny vibes – big windows, outdoor tables on Windmill Street, spritzes on draft and a heap of other goodies too. An easy, breezy cocktail bar that’s as good for a quick one after work near Tottenham Court Road as it is for settling in. 

If youre visiting from out of town or new to the city, were a stones throw from both Tottenham Court Road station (Elizabeth Line, Central Line, Northern Line) and Goodge Street Station (Northern Line).

The Downstairs Bar

Oh, she’s sexy. Lowlit and moody AF, with enough AC that even when it’s glorious outside, this is still the beating heart of the bar. Think speakeasy – but not 2010, and actually fun. Just in case youre curious, 50 people can party comfortably down there (and up top for that matter, too), and yes we do offer private hire – just fire us an email.

The Cocktail Workshop

…is where we host our cocktail masterclasses – we’ve spent a decade distilling them down to the most useful things you can learn in a few hours. Purpose-driven, but still a proper laugh.

Menu

London has long been one of the cocktail capitals of the world, and the capitals frantic exchange of ideas, techniques and outcomes is exactly what got us there. Our current menu, Lineage, is a celebration of that – we take beloved classics, pare them back to their roots, then either replicate them faithfully, or… well, incredibly not-faithfully. Depends which way you fancy going.

Book Now

Couple things – if you’re after anything particular like private hire or big groups, just fire us an email. The system auto-assigns 90 mins to each booking – just whack in your notes if you want longer. Oh, and card deets are grabbed for groups 6+, and our no-show charge per person is the current price for a pint of Guinness… let’s be nice and say £7…

Cocktail Masterclasses

Over a decade of development has gone into ’em. The usual innuendos and syrupy mess is fun and all, but we wanted to offer more – plenty of fun, but proper know-how and physical teaching too. The purpose is simple: we want everyone walking away knowing how flavour works and how to make delicious shit at home without the stress. Our own teams go through these classes

Hey, What Happened to Royal Cocktail Exchange?

Yeah, it just wasn’t… us. It was a nice idea, but ‘royal’ just rubbed us wrong after a while.

We’re London bartenders – always have been. London Cocktail Exchange says exactly who we are and what we do: we exchange cocktails, for your money. We’re really good at it.

We do the other stuff too – all the usual bevs, awesome masterclasses, great food. Same bar, same team, same spot just off Tottenham Court Road. New name.
