Cocktail Bar Near Battersea Power Station: Five Minutes to Tiki Paradise

Sugar Cane is the closest late-night cocktail bar to Battersea Power Station, offering tropical drinks and entertainment five minutes away.

Why Sugar Cane Beats Any Bar by the River

A tropical escape in SW11

Walk a few streets from Battersea Power Station’s glass atrium and you will swap turbine halls for bamboo walls. Inside Sugar Cane the air is scented with fresh pineapple, the lighting is all torch-glow and palm shadows, and the welcome is pure South-London warmth.

Perfect for after-work drinks and weekend adventures

Whether you have finished a shift at Apple HQ, explored the Power Station boutiques or caught a play at the Turbine Theatre, Sugar Cane offers two distinct spaces. The downstairs lounge keeps things relaxed with island rhythms, while the upstairs club turns up the volume with guest DJs every Friday and Saturday. Happy-hour prices run until six and the bar stays open until two on weekends, so no one is forced into an early last call.

Three reasons to swap the turbine for the Tiki

  1. Proximity
    Five minutes on foot means no taxis, no tube changes, just a straight walk down Queenstown Road and along Lavender Hill.
  2. Signature serves
    Flaming Scorpion Bowls, Frozen Lychee Piñas and aged-rum Mai Tai Royales taste even better when you are fresh off the riverfront.
  3. Live action
    From fire-dancer showcases to Thursday Latin nights, Sugar Cane brings a show you will not see in the arches around the Power Station.

How to find us in five minutes

  1. Leave Battersea Power Station at Electric Boulevard.
  2. Cross Battersea Park Road and continue south on Queenstown Road.
  3. Follow the same road as it becomes Lavender Hill; Sugar Cane is at number 247.

Prefer wheels instead of walking? Santander Cycles are stationed outside the Power Station, the Northern line is two blocks away and night buses stop directly in front of the bar.
