Marking the cocktail’s 100th Anniversary, Negroni Week 2019 will take place from 24 to 30 June.

Take a look at our round-up of the best London bars in which to sip the classic serve and comment below with any other suggestions.

Perfect for those unaccustomed to the pungent flavours of the Negroni, Bar Termini’s offering comes in a small and delicate glass.
