Searcys Champagne Bar London

People watching and bubbly

Claire from London

About me I am currently living in Haggerston in East London, working in photography. I have lived in lots of different parts of London so have had plenty of opportunities to seek out the local hot-spots from Hackney Wick to Elephant and Castle.

""Searcys Champagne Bar" London is where I choose to go whenever I miss super swanky bars and long for a glass of champagne! It's such a beautiful, grand..."

I don't usually treat myself to expensive meals or drinks in super swanky bars but I'm happy to make an exception for a glass of champagne at Searcys.

In such a beautifully grand setting you can sit back and watch the world go by, the furniture oozes class and the art deco inspired booths along the forecourt have little embroidered blankets on railings to keep your legs warm. This is quite possibly my favourite people watching spot as you have a great view of the passengers heading to the Eurostar platform. With plenty of excited couples about to venture on a romantic weekend, businessmen and women expertly streamlining to board the train and tearful hellos/goodbyes.

With it not being the cheapest place to have a tipple, I'd recommend this bar as a special treat just before a long journey or as a one drink stop off just to soak up the beautiful setting with a glass of bubbly and someone special.

I have lived in London my whole life and firmly believe in the Samuel Johnson quote ”When a man is tired of London then he is tired of life”. I love the vast amount of things to do in London for all weathers, budg...

Book 28 Library

A tiny queer utopia

What really sets Book 28 apart, is their commitment to sourcing intersectional literature that would be unlikely to appear in your average public library.
