Best Themed Bars in London

Best bars in London, enjoy our top 10 themed bar suggestions around London. From a Breaking Bad themed bar, to a Kung Fu themed bar, only in London.

We spend a lot of time wrapped up in themes. Participation starts early; being dressed as an Easter bunny or an elf during moments we can’t remember and have no control over. This gradually morphs into our school days – Disney birthday parties complete with a ginormous bouncy castle and a Cinderella wondering around somewhere. Growing up, there are themes and celebrations of practically everything at University. Literally, anything goes. But further along it gets serious; do you go for an eloquent Parisian theme for the hen or just get the hell to Marbella? Speaking of alcohol, it’s no surprise to find London catering to our love of themes too with a huge selection of themed bars. It’s a fun way to bring people together and enjoy the night (and make it fully OK to love a theme). Here are our top TEN themed bars in London.
