Every time I have visitors I insist we go here. For tiki friends, it's a pilgrimage, and for everyone else it's a perfect intro to tiki.

The staff have invariably been friendly, attentive, and accomodating to dietary requests. I never noticed any music though, and due to its location in an expensive hotel in mayfair the crowd is often conference attendees and partying businessmen or their rowdy adult children, which can disrupt the vibe. But on a quiet weekday evening? Magical.

I hope it never closes.

So this is one of my favorite Tiki joints in the world. It was the first Trader Vic's outside of the US and it looks like it hasn't changed in a bit. At the edge of Mayfair, along the park and downstairs from an old Hilton is this gem. Hit the bar up for some real classic tiki drinks in the traditional mugs (for each drink ordered). Marvel at the original decor and feel the vintage vibe. Music is often hosted and dinner is an elegant (albeit expensive) affair. When I am in London, I always pop by here to get away from it all and remember the experience people looked to bring to London after World War 2. Very cool spot

We've been here twice, in 2009 and 2013. The first visit included dinner, which was OK but not fantastic for the price. The drinks were awesome. I had to order a pina colada first, which confused the waiter. He was an immigrant and probably not familiar with Warren Zevon. Also, they call that drink a Bahia at Trader Vic's for some (undoubtedly historical) reason. Still, the bartender knew what I meant and made a terrific pina colada. After that I ordered a tiki classic of some sort, but I no longer remember which one. Our second visit was only for drinks. It was early on a Tuesday evening, and the place was almost deserted. Service and drinks were excellent. I hope they do better business at other times, or I fear this place will not long survive. Perhaps it could be declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Simply the best place to drink in London! Okay, it's pricey (but so is all of London), but this Trader Vic's at The London Hilton really does have a 'retro jet-set', old-school Tiki vibe, a WONDERFUL drinks menu, fabulous music (always tropical, always mellow), great food, super service...and it genuinely takes you away from the hustle and bustle of foggy London to a far more civilized, magical place.
