Carbon isn’t in the best location - Old Quebec Street is sat squarely opposite the giant Primark and venturing there invariably requires the Oxford Street battle, which is never fun. However, once you get there, you soon forget what’s going on outside in the real Marble Arch world.

The decor is what you might call urban chic - chains and cages are combined with sleek surfaces and a sparkling bar for a look which is fairly unusual if not taken slightly too far. It occasionally feels more like a film set than a comfy bar.

The staff are super helpful and mix a mean mojito - always the litmus test. Might be worth repeat visits and certainly fills a niche if you’re in need of a very large drink after a trawl round the shops.
