Ruby Lucy Hotel & Bar

Ruby Lucy London Bar 08

Glamour, grit and great British wit

Taking her place on London’s historic South Bank, Ruby Lucy may be a newcomer but she’s channelling some serious old-world charm. Drawing on the area's colourful, free-wheeling past, we've blended bold colours and bright accents with gravity-defying vintage rides.


Join us in the bar to catch local, up-and-coming bands or settle in and take our signature cocktails for a spin. And when it's time to unwind, each room is a haven of Lean Luxury calm, designed with sleep experts to help you drift off after a busy day on the dodgems.


A short walk from the river and five minutes from Waterloo station, Ruby Lucy's a great base for exploring London by Tube, bus, boat or bike. Or lace up your shoes and stroll to the city's top landmarks in minutes.

Fairground meets circus

In an area famed for its pleasures – both genteel and guilty – we’ve taken inspiration from the fly-by-night world of markets and fairgrounds. To capture that fleeting moment of excitement and excess, we’ve sprinkled a little carnival magic throughout our design. Rich, dark tones meet bright brass accents and subtle stripes are set off by circus drums and juggling pins.
