One of London's original speakeasies — a candlelit Marylebone basement vault where molecular techniques, smoke, and theatre meet British-inspired drinks. The theatrical serves, with their smoke and unusual presentations, are Purl's whole thing; lean into them. Come in the evening for the full candlelit atmosphere, and reserve ahead, because the vault is intimate. It helped write the template that countless later bars copied, and the basement setting remains genuinely transportive — a piece of the city's modern cocktail history still performing its original act with conviction.
