The Natural Philosopher

Hidden away through a genuine Mac repair shop, The Natural Philosopher is a quirky London cocktail bar like no other nestled in the heart of East London. Despite its unique layout and creative cocktail menu, what really sets The Natural Philosopher apart is its wonderful owner Josh, who is the very definition of hospitality. If you happen to find yourself in Hackney make sure you seek him out and enjoy a Whistler's Whisper, trust us, it's delicious!

Inside The Macsmiths, 489 Hackney Rd, London E2 9ED

Whistler's Whisper

Tall-ish, floral, fresh

Red Mason Bee

Rather than collecting pollen and transporting it on their legs like other bees, females collect pollen in hairs on the undersides of their abdomen, in a structure known as a pollen brush. When the pollen brush is full, the underside of the bee can look very bright and vibrant.
