The Lido Café, Herne Hill

Marcus Wareing’s restaurant Tredwell’s caters to the healthy crowd with cold-pressed cocktails, created in collaboration with Bob’s Juicery. Try the strength-giving Gimlet with gin, ginger, pineapple and wheatgrass and the Hail Mary – a more virtuous take on the classic.

Farmacy’s emphasis on clean indulgence carries into their bar, where the likes of flaxseed oil, cayenne pepper and even cannabis oil are stirred into juices and cocktails.
