About Venue
Set behind the façade of a boutique tea counter and a secret golden hand-shaped handle is Blind Spot at St Martins Lane, a late-night speakeasy that offers guests bespoke and signature cocktails bursting with flavours influenced by the British Empire and its ancient tea trade.
A mouth-watering menu of sweet and savory British colonial-style snacks to pair with the cocktails is also available throughout the night, including a Mini Cubano Sandwich, Crispy Chilli Beef Sliders and Roast Pork Belly Hirata Steamed Buns. Blind Spot offers modern British elegance, carefully shadowed by day and illuminated by the energy of the city at night.
The perfect central London spot for a pre-dinner drink, a night of entertainment or an after party nightcap and nibble.

Delicious cocktails, we didn’t know what to pick so asked for recommendations and the server was really helpful. My friend and I both ended up really liking our drinks. Left is sacremento and right is Kyoto.

We loved the experience at the Blind Spot. Felt out of this world for a brief moment while enjoying really well made cocktails in a cozy atmosphere. Special Thanks to Cleverson and his hospitality that made our celebration night feel even more special.

Wanted to a have a solo night cap and stumbled across this hidden gem! The drink recommended by the waiter that suited my taste was delicious, great recommendation. I love the fact that it’s hidden so it minimises who many people visit. It was a nice place to sit alone, and enjoy a nightcap.

I haven't eaten here but have been for cocktails twice, once in July 2024 and again in June 2025. Both visits were early evening and found a wonderland hidden behind a secret door. The lighting is low and set up to create a cocoon of light around each table. Tables and chairs are low and comfortably loungey, with an old world feel to them (leather benches and small chesterfield chairs). Undulating pods line the walls with a few tables in the middle of the room. It makes the place feel intimate and private as it's hard to see other groups, particularly when it's not busy. Music (electronic on my two visits) plays at a level where it's possible to have a conversation. The cocktail menu doesn't change at a fast pace but had been refreshed between my two visits almost a year apart. A lot of thought goes into each drink and it can take months to perfect a recipe. Several of the drinks from our first visit were still on the menu a year later, established as classics. Drinks are inspired by locations and use local ingredients or flavours to evoke them. There's artistry there beyond knowing which proportions create a balanced drink; there are infusions, washes, smoke and details in the garnishes beyond anything I've seen elsewhere. Staff are knowledgeable about each cocktail and happy to explain how they're made if you're interested. They are on top of absolutely everything, from delivering water with the menus, refilling it regularly and to appearing just as you decide you're ready for another. I've enjoyed both visits and will be back again. If you're after understated refinement in a relaxed setting go to Blind Spot.

Larger than expected inside, stylish and luxurious interior, with a solid list of original cocktails sorted by major cities/countries around the world. I loved the French/Paris one - and couldn’t finish the Mexican one which I had chosen because of the Mezcal smokiness but the spice from both the drink and the rim were simply too much. Pictures of both drinks included with the review.
