Library Bar at the Lanesborough Hotel

[Tuesday 29th May 2012]
In the morning I had to rush across London for a meeting with our CFO at one of the other offices we have in the city. The timing was a bit unfortunate the day before launch, so I hadn't really been able to prepare very well, but I think it went as well as can be expected.

Worked late again tonight, another 12 hour day. Chie was out at the theatre with friends this evening, and I didn't feel like going home to an empty flat, plus I felt like a bit of a celebration as we were on the eve of the launch of my project, the culmination of the last year or so's work.

So I decided to don my suit and try out the Library Bar at the Lanesborough. I was pleased to discover unlike most cocktail bars in London they actually had creme de violette (and quite a good one at that) so started with an Aviation which I think is the best one I had yet (apart from the ones I make myself!). Followed that with a Negroni which was pretty good - pictures is the vermouth they used.
