Seedlip in London, England

Nightjar is a World's 50 Best Bars-listed basement jazz bar on City Road, with live music nightly and a cocktail list famous for its theatrical, historically researched drinks. Its menu carries an explicit non-alcoholic section rather than off-menu mocktails: the signature Adonis is built from Taronja de Gris orange wine, Aperitivo Professore, Fino sherry, barrel-aged tsipouro and Muyu Vetiver Gris for genuine bittersweet depth.

Seed Library is the Mr Lyan bar in the basement of One Hundred Shoreditch, a low-lit room with a pared-back, produce-led list. Its 'Pathways' menu carries four dedicated non-alcoholic serves, and roughly half the full cocktail list can be rebuilt booze-free; named low- and no-alcohol drinks include the Hand-Rolled Spritz and Master Stock Plus.

Swift is a two-floor Soho institution — quick aperitivo upstairs, a dark cocktail den below — from a team behind some of London's best bars. The walk-in upstairs room carries a dedicated non-alcoholic list alongside its aperitivo menu, and the sibling Swift Borough pours a named low/no serve, the Atopia, with spiced citrus, Botivo, strawberry and pink peppercorn.

Artesian, the bar at The Langham on Portland Place, has been named the World's Best Bar more than once. Head bartender Giulia Cuccurullo's 'Ultimo' menu includes dedicated non-alcoholic serves: Currant, a booze-free paloma with Smiling Wolf agave and London Essence raspberry-rose soda, and an effervescent Apple built on Lyre's American Malt and Amaretto with Wignac cider.

Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO is the one-Michelin-star (2025) flagship of three-Michelin-star chef Mauro Colagreco, set inside the restored Old War Office on Whitehall. Its non-alcoholic offering is a genuine, kitchen-led programme rather than an afterthought: a dedicated multi-course Temperance Pairing (about £80 for five courses, £105 for seven) of sparkling teas, water kefirs and from-scratch mocktails built to mirror the tasting menu's 70-plus British fruits and vegetables. Serves include The Smokey Carrot, the English Garden No-Tini with Seedlip Garden 108 and Everleaf Marine, and the 'Dandy Smoke' zero-alcohol homage to Islay whisky.

The Donovan Bar is the World's-50-Best-listed cocktail room inside Rocco Forte's Brown's Hotel in Mayfair, run by maestro Salvatore Calabrese and Director of Mixology Federico Pavan. Its signature achievement for non-drinkers is structural: the menu is built so that every section pairs four alcoholic cocktails with one full alcohol-free serve, given equal billing and treated as a real drink rather than a placeholder. The zero-proof builds are engineered to match the character and flavour of their spirited counterparts, drawing on bases like Seedlip.

The Laundry is an all-day bistro, wine bar and wine shop on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton, run by chef-sommelier Melanie Brown. Alongside its wine-led list it keeps a small but genuine alcohol-free selection, with non-alcoholic mocktails including a Seedlip Spritz built on the zero-proof distilled spirit and a house Watermelonade. It gives south London a low-and-no option to sit with beyond the central cocktail rooms, whether at brunch, on the terrace, or over an evening plate.
