About
A city-wide celebration of cocktails in one of Europe's biggest and best cocktail capitals, London Cocktail Week is the original model for such cocktail weeks, now celebrated in cities around the world.
The brand child of Simon Difford, since its inception in 2010, London Cocktail Week has been organised by Hannah Sharman-Cox and Siobhán Payne, who, in October 2025, during the closing lunch for the 16th London Cocktail Week, announced they were acquiring the festival from Pernod Ricard. They become the fourth owners of the festival, which was established by Simon Difford's Odd Firm of Sin Limited.
In January 2026, after taking ownership of the festival, Hannah and Siobhán announced London Cocktail Week was moving from its previous October slot to week commencing 15 March 2027.
