Alcotraz in London is a theatrical prison-themed cocktail bar where you bring your own spirit and get custom drinks in real metal cells.

Make your own G&T at Bombay Sapphire Distillery near Winchester, tour the botanicals and vapor infusion process, then end with a cocktail.
“A great day drip from London! It was fun learning about what makes Bombay Sapphire different and how they've become such a sustainable distillery. And the best part is, your tour ends at the bar where you can try a variety of their cocktails. If you're using public transit to get there, be mindful the local bus does not have dynamic live tracking. I'd recommend pre-booking the taxi for your return to the train station!”

“We had an incredible experience on our Camden Market food tour! Our guide Ryan was fantastic—so knowledgeable about the market’s history, music, and vibrant food scene. They shared so many interesting facts that really enriched the experience. The food selection was spot on—just the right amount, not too much and not too little, leaving us completely satisfied without the need for dinner afterward. From start to finish, it was a perfect way to explore Camden’s culinary and cultural highlights! Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience this unique part of London.”
