WM Barker

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Mr William M. Barker, the eponymous founder of our infamous, secret, underground cocktail bar, is both a figure of past and present.

Originally, Will was a wine and brandy merchant from the 1800s, he owned the building which in the basement we now, 200 years later, call home. In his younger years Will was, an academic, Victorian party boy and very much a gentleman about town. He would be surrounded by his famous friends and possessions of the finest quality, he was nothing less than the Beau of Bishopsgate, and for us, that’s who he’ll always be.
