Its huge menu and stylish interior are just two reasons as to why Bocca Lounge is a popular spot amongst Londoners.

Their gold digger cocktail is particularly raved about by previous bargoers and combines Aperol and Passoã with gold leaf before being topped with champagne to create a fizzy, fruity tipple.
