Nancy’s cocktail bar brings 1970s-inspired late-night venue to London Bridge with market-to-glass drinks and city views

Late-night cocktail bar Nancy’s has opened in the London Bridge area of central London, occupying the fourth floor of Colechurch House, a 1973 Brutalist building on London Bridge Walk. The venue combines a cocktail programme built around ingredients sourced from the nearby Borough Market with interiors styled on the 1970s, and operates as both an evening drinks venue and a late-night spot featuring DJs and live acoustic sessions.

The bar’s interior design draws on its Brutalist surroundings while introducing a maximalist style. Features include banquette sofas, chromatic floor lamps, a private tiger-print pool room, a disco-ball dance floor and views over the city skyline. 

The drinks concept is “market-to-glass”, drawing on the SE1 area and Borough Market in particular. The menu has been developed by bartender Martha May Markham and the bar’s general manager, Max Wolff. Markham has won Pernod’s UK Bar Queens competition, was named the International Wine and Spirit Competition’s emerging talent in bartending, and is the UK champion of Hennessy My Way. Wolff joins from Library by the Sea in Grand Cayman, which was named Best Bar in the Caribbean at North America’s 50 Best Bars 2025.

A central feature of the menu is a Lady Luck Negroni cart presented at the table, where guests roll a dice to select from six variations. These include The Classic, made with Plymouth Gin, Campari and Mancino Sweet Vermouth with a leather perfume said to reference the area’s tanning heritage; The Chocolate, made with Blanche d’Armagnac, Cocchi Torino, Bitter Rosso, cacao distillate and Mexican mole bitter; and The Rosé, made with Espadin mezcal, Boatyard Sloe Gin and absinthe.

The menu also includes three smaller cocktails, among them Corsica, a Cachaça-based Clover Club variation, and Hourglass, a yuzu Appletini made with Tanqueray and Lillet Blanc. The broader list comprises ten signature cocktails referencing local businesses, including Nancy’s Dirty Martini, made with a brine blend from Borough Olives, Oloroso sherry and Belvedere vodka; Queen’s Walk, inspired by a blueberry pudding from dessert shop Humble Crumble; and Nouvelle Vague, a Sazerac variation made with spiced cherry syrup, seaweed-infused whisky and cognac that references Borough Market trader Spice Mountain.
