While the Vikings may not have been the most civilised people to cross these shores, Scandinavians have brought us a number of great things other than IKEA and Swedish meatballs. There's also a gorgeous selection of Scandinavian bars and restaurants in London, including Danish sushi joints, beautiful eateries and fun cocktail dens. So what are you waiting for? See for yourself.

Everyone loves their time at Nordic Bar in Soho thanks to its lively and thoroughly entertaining ambience. Serving a wide range of cocktails, beers and wine that will give you a fine taste of Norway, it's the next best thing to experiencing a lively time away.
Blending a traditional English pub with a Norwegian atmosphere, The Kenton has created a winning combination. A quirky place that is home to a mixed crowd of punters, it also offers a number of events from foreign film nights, DJ sets and quiz nights, and has truly created the best of both worlds.
If it's a Danish restaurant in London you're after, Sticks'n'Sushi is a must-visit. Along with minimalistic interiors and Japanese decor, the venue fronts a menu fusing sushi and Denmark's authentic cuisine together to create aesthetically-pleasing plates.
Located in the heart of Marylebone, The Harcourt Arms is a popular haunt amongst locals and expats alike. This is mainly due to its love for sport, regularly broadcasting all the major sporting events throughout the year. Plus, the traditional Swedish food is to die for.
Truly a unique Nordic restaurant in London, Hicce knocks up traditional British dishes which take influence from Japanese and Scandinavian fare. Head to Coal Drops Yard as this fire restaurant whips up sea bream ceviche and beef bavette.
This Scandinavian cocktail bar in London serves expertly-crafted cocktails from martinis through to Champagne cocktails. With its stylish decor, plush seating and varied selection of drinks, Kosmopol makes for a lovely pre-dinner drink location.
