London Cocktail Exchange, a neighborhood cocktail bar off Tottenham Court Road known until recently as The Royal Cocktail Exchange, opened in October 2023 from the team behind The Cocktail Trading Company and Murder Inc. The ground floor has big windows, terracotta floors, oak walls and the honeyed glow of wicker-ball lamps, with tables outside on Windmill Street and spritzes on draft. Downstairs is a low-lit room of charred oak paneling and faux alligator wallpaper. The Lineage menu pares classics back to their roots with infusion, clarification and distillation, and takes non-alcoholic serves just as seriously. Upstairs, a workshop hosts cocktail masterclasses.
