Two hotel bars – the American Bar at The Savoy and the Dandelyan at the Mondrian Hotel – claimed the second and third spots respectively, just missing out on the top spot to New York's Dead Rabbit Grocery & Grog.

Climbing one spot from last year's list, The Connaught hotel's bar was awarded fourth place, while new entry The Gibson came in at sixth and Hoxton's speakeasy style cocktail bar, Happiness Forgets, rounded off the top ten.
