The majesty of old Piccadilly still stirs ambitions of grandeur, glamour and a golden age still in reach. Maison Assouline’s flagship bar takes its name from the moniker—“swans”— given to the jet-setting high-society women of America’s 1950s and 60s elite, of whom writer Truman Capote became the confidant. Opened in 2014, Swans Bar has been offering for ten years an array of exclusive cocktails in a tucked-away space surrounded by the store’s expansive bookshelves. Developed exclusively by on-site mixologists, many of the drinks are inspired by popular Assouline book titles, transporting guests to unexpected destinations with each sip.
