LP Bar

Just opened, the LP Bar is the younger sibling to next door’s London Particular and aims to provide quality libations to the New Cross area to match the food on offer next door. Although it is still early days there are lots of things to enjoy here already.
First impressions count and the first thing you will see here is the aeronautically inspired décor. You can admire bits of plane on the walls on take a seat in reclaimed airline seats in the bar’s ‘first class cabin’. Notwithstanding there not being an airport nearby this theme immediately sets the bar apart from its competition.
I haven’t been here in the evening yet but the coffee matches the quality of the décor. Higgin’s London Particular blend provides the beans and the staff do the rest. If tea is your thing, no problem, a selection of loose leaf teas from Little Sparrow Tea are available. Coffee is no good without cake and this is an area where I think there is still work to be done. My pistachio cake this morning was a little stodgy — I am sure this will improve with time though.
I will hopefully pop down in the evening sometime soon. However, I am confident that the cocktails, wine and craft beers on offer will match the daytime pleasures I have already encountered.
