An understated gem for after work drinks. Situated at the top of the National Portrait Gallery and looking out over Trafalgar Square and down towards the Houses of Parliament, you will find few places in London that can match this view. As you might expect the bar itself is restrained and reasonable. Do take a brief look at exhibits if you have time; currently the Photographic Portrait Prize is the must see attraction.
