London, one of the most expensive cities in Britain is gifted with one of the best drinking scenes in the world - where you can hop from historic and traditional pubs to contemporary boozers pulling delicious pints of craft beers and even perfect cocktails which will leave you craving for more. 

David Sedaris, a celebrated American humorist once stated - “No amount of physical contact could match the healing powers of a well-made cocktail,” and the roisterers would clink their cocktail glasses to that mere thought. 

So if you are a cocktail fanatic, travelling to London on a tight budget - and you happen to miss the happy hour, but you are still not done partying. Don’t fret! We have got you covered. Regardless of whether you are travelling North, South, East, West or Central - here are 5 places in London with the cheapest cocktails. 

1. Freud

Freud is a basement bar which is loved by Londoners. It is so popular that may get hard to get in after 6 pm. So what is so popular about Freud, you ask? The reason is its 60 cocktail varieties jotted down on a vast blackboard behind the bar, with prices ranging from £6.75 to £9.60. A good third are under £8. Grab a seat at Freud and try the never disappointing Aztec (tequila, cacao, vanilla and tabasco).

2. Cubana

Without pretending that this Waterloo stalwart is sophisticated or cool, just going to state that it sells cracking Cuban street food and you won’t find a cocktail existing over £7. That is the reason Cubana is listed as one of the 7 places in London with the cheapest cocktails. Cubana specialises in mojitos, caipirinhas, daiquiris and other sun-soaked drinks.
