As befits the site of a once renowned essence factory, The Distillery Bankside’s signature cocktails celebrate all things aromatic. Every cocktail has been carefully blended to conjure up creative concoctions crafted using homemade syrups, infusions, and bitters. Gin is a big part of The Distillery, and has its own dedicated section on the menu, featuring over 100 handpicked gins, including the fine old classics and vintage favourites from every point of the compass, as well as new gins from artisan distilleries all over London. Whether you’re looking for your gin fix on the terrace, or settling into the cosy nu-Edwardian-style cocktail lounge with a cold craft beer, you’ll find something that appeals.
