Any time of the year, a glass of Champagne is a special treat, and the festive period is when it once more comes to the forefront. Although the drink is already hugely popular, many new champagne bars have been opening, showing that its fan base is still growing. With the expert assistance of the Bureau du Champagne UK, we look at some of London’s newest Champagne-focused bars.
London is alive with the festive season buzz, and Champagne continues to be the centrepiece for some of the most prestigious venues in London. So much so that new bars dedicated to Champagne keep opening in London – for example, Le Bar Du Champagne & Modern Bistro and Covent Garden, which have opened this month and allow consumers to enjoy a glass in a more laid-back atmosphere.
It almost goes without stating that Champagne is timeless, and many consider it to be the ultimate tipple for celebrating a get-together. With so many ‘bubbly’ venues to choose from, writing about them all is nigh impossible; therefore, for this guide, we’re shining the spotlight on just four of London’s newest Champagne Bars, all of which would be ideal places to celebrate the festive season.
