Located inside London's famous O2, the Slug & Lettuce is a trusty bar and restaurant there for pre-cinema bites and post-show drinks alike. Fresh from a recent facelift, this is an inviting space featuring cosy dining booths, elegant mirrors, raw brickwork and cool vibes. Pull up a stool at the bar and work your way through the classic cocktails and international beers on show at the Slug.
