HOKUS POKUS is a London underground bar serving botanical concoctions, craft cocktails and fine libations, inspired by the history of King’s Cross, Bloomsbury and Camden. The name and design narrative take inspiration from the many 19th century quack doctors who eagerly embraced the latest chemical and technological discoveries, to produce ‘miracle cures’. One of the most famous was a James Morrison who in 1828 opened the ‘British college of health’ , just a couple of doors down from us.
