World Gin Day London

London’s favourite spirit is getting its own festival with the inaugural World Gin Day London hitting the capital this week.

World Gin Day London

The four-day festival of all things gin will be taking over London on Thursday 7th and will be running until 10th June. This new gin extravaganza will feature a handpicked selection of 75 of London’s finest bars – including Tony Conigliaro’s Untitled; the world-famous Callooh Callay; and Nightjar’s sister bar, Oriole – serving an array of bespoke £6 gin cocktails to those with a Digital Festival Pass (purchasable here for £10).

In addition to cheap and tasty cocktails, World Gin Day London will see pop-ups, events and parties taking place all about town, with the “Juniper Goddess” placed firmly at the centre of all activities.
