Designed by the David Collins Studio, Bassoon is a modern, stylish bar within Corinthia Hotel London. Most evenings it plays host to both popular and up-andcoming live acts, with previous performers including Lana Del Rey and the Scissor Sisters. the music theme continues with jazz-inspired art from William H Johnson on the walls and a Roland piano located next to the 7m bar. With its art-deco design, the 1920s-inspired space makes for a luxurious and cosy drinking den for up to 30 guests at a standing reception. Cocktails, spirits and champagne are served in replicas of Queen Victoria’s own glassware, and the bar has a late licence.

Venue review of Corinthia Hotel London
This David Collins Studio-designed bar is Corinthia Hotel London’s go-to for quality cocktails and live entertainment. Dim lighting and art deco furnishings combine to create a ‘roaring 20s’ atmosphere that’ll add theatre to Christmas parties. Details such as using replicas of Queen Victoria’s glassware, and a back bar of boutique spirits mark this as a rather distinguished spot for the annual festive knees-up. Another major draw is the bar’s reputation for hosting talented musicians – Lana Del Rey and Scissor Sisters have graced the stage. Acts from most genres can be hired to add atmosphere and get people on their feet.
