Keystone Crescent

I love punching in the access code on the gray door of this little bar that’s open till 4 am on weekends. It’s on a residential street near the middle of King’s Cross, but once you’re in, it’s like walking into a Bond villain’s secret lair meets Don Draper’s London pad. It’s full of mid-century Scandinavian furniture and excellent drinks served by knowledgeable, fun bartenders. This is technically a private club, but it’s easy to become a member and bring guests along. Just pay the £35 joining fee on the website at least 48 hours before you want to go and you’ll get the code for the door.
