When Boris Johnson announced that the 12th of April would see the end of lockdown, Londoners saw a rise in Google searches for new outfits, beauty treatments and table bookings to get that Strawberry Daiquiri that you'd been craving for the last five months.

Now that lockdown is over, spend your time in some of London's most instagrammable bars. Make your feed stand out with pretty cocktails and glam interiors in some of the best places in town.
The Sky Garden - Yes, that's right, a garden in the sky. From the walkie talkie building, you can see picturesque views of London all for free! By day, overlook the pretty foliage of the indoor tropical garden whilst sipping on cocktails from one of their three bars and by night get grooving with sounds from the DJ. Hairdresser, Monica Vieira, 24 said: "The views from this place are incredible, you see the whole of London for free. Considering London is high priced, this is worth the trip and something everyone can enjoy no matter how old they are. I can't wait to go when it opens back up."

Tonight, Josephine - If ABBA was a bar, Tonight, Josephine would be it. When you enter, be prepared to feel like you're walking into a disco with illuminated quotes, a sparkly bar and mirrored ceilings. Along with some fab cocktails with names like Hansel & Gretal and Razzle Dazzle. You can't go there without snapping a pic in front of the neon sign stating "Well-behaved women don't make history", perfect for that boomerang snapshot. Emily Hignell, 24, a Nursery nurse said: "I think this is the most aesthetically pleasing cocktail bar that I have been to. I loved the music, the cocktails, the quotes, everything is a vibe."

Sketch - In the heart of Mayfair is one of the most famous bars and restaurants. Known for its iconic egg-shaped loos and pink interiors, it's like Barbie's dream house and a Millenials fantasy all in one. The loos isn't the place you'd get excited for but, you can't go there without getting a pic.

Madisons - Forget London at Madison's you'll feel like you're abroad with one of the most glamorous rooftop bars you'll see. From the peak of the bar, you can watch the sun setting over St Paul's Cathedral and listen to live music whilst you sip and dine.
