Description

The Escapologist is an elusive basement cocktail bar in the heart of Seven Dials. Based in the riotous Headquarters of the secret society that ran Victorian London, The Escapologist is styled as part "modern day Victorian men’s club" and "part Masonic lodge". Partying like it's 1899 seven days a week, the focus is on memorable times with great drinks in an outrageous space.
