The Luggage Room, Speakeasy-style bar in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.

The Luggage Room is a bar with 1920s art deco styling located within a hotel in central London. The space features dim lighting, plush seating, and period furnishings that evoke the Prohibition era.

The venue opened in 2013 as part of a major hotel and drew inspiration from illegal bars during the Prohibition period. Its creation reflects the ongoing interest in cocktail culture and its layered past.

The name references the hidden bars of the 1920s, and the drink menu reads like a chapter from cocktail history. Visitors experience how people once consumed alcohol while maintaining an air of secrecy and intrigue.

The bar opens in the early evening and stays open late, especially on weekends. It is helpful to call ahead or make a reservation to ensure entry.

The entrance is discreet and disguised like a luggage room, preserving the secrecy and thrill of an actual illegal bar. This hidden doorway offers your first hint that something special awaits inside.

Hidden Bars and Unusual Places in London

London houses a notable number of unconventional drinking establishments and concealed bars that extend well beyond the ordinary pub experience. In former Underground stations, converted Victorian lavatories and behind unassuming facades, resourceful operators have created spaces that transport visitors to different eras and worlds. These venues often require a degree of discovery: entrances hide behind refrigerator doors, in apparent detective agencies or through small red doors that only the informed notice. The range extends from historic vaulted cellars like Gordon's Wine Bar, which has existed since 1890, to themed concepts such as Cahoots, housed in a disused 1940s Underground shaft. The Attendant uses a former Victorian public toilet as a café, while bars like Evans & Peel Detective Agency guide their guests through a role-playing scenario before granting access to the actual establishment. At higher elevations, Duck & Waffle and the bar at Heron Tower offer views across the city from the 40th floor. Most of these establishments concentrate in neighborhoods such as Soho, Shoreditch and the West End, where traditional pubs sit alongside experimental cocktail bars and specialized coffeehouses.
