From Bloomsbury salons to the river

Start on Russell Square, drift down to Holborn and finish by the river. This route moves from Fitz’s theatrical interior to Scarfes Bar’s more enclosed salon, then opens out at Lyaness beside the Thames. Leave room for dinner between stops rather than treating the list as a drinking challenge.

The final leg to the South Bank is the longest. Walk if it suits your evening, or take transport. Reserve where possible, check the details below and leave the timing flexible: Scarfes does not publish a fixed closing time. The route suggests an order, not reserved tables or guaranteed entry.
