The Culpeper, Commercial Street, Is a great after work drinking spot for Aldgate city workers. Downstairs it’s a corporate – friendly drinking hole, while a rooftop kitchen garden nods to its Shoreditch hipster neighbours. The cocktail list is unique while being fashionable (lots of prossecco and spritz options). The best thing is the tinctures – particularly in the lavender cocktails – at at £7-£9 they’re not extortionate so it’s worth adding this spot to your city summer drinking lists. 40 Commercial Street, London E1
