Anyone know how much these go for in London? Preferably a plush bar.

I phoned a friend

She said probably about 11 or 12 pounds for one R&V.

Go with what one seven's friend says. And that may even be on the low side depending on type of vodka, and how nice the place is.

A Red Bull and a whatever here in the States is gonna cost you at least $6. And in a fancy place, I can see that going for $10 or $12.

(And that first link was for specials/deals. A posh place isn't going to run specials/deals.)

yeah but his friend was talking pounds. i find it hard to believe they would charge $24 for this drink even in a posh place.
i also believe it's an overpriced low brow cocktail that only the under 30 crowd would drink. this might be important for storytelling. but also is the actual price really relevant to what you're writing?

Doesn't matter what you believe...

I was in a place in Basel, Switzerland, charged almost $20 (US dollars after the conversion) for a beer. It happens.

18 dollars in a Vegas night club. So 12 lb isn't that high of a number.

Re: Red Bull & Vodka

the price is going to vary depending on the quality of the vodka. in the united states well liquors can run anywhere from .75 cents to 5 dollars (or more) cheaper than premium liquors (bartending paid for college). i realize you're looking for the uk so this might not be much help... if it's an important point; imho, you could just call a red-bull distributor, or look up a uk nightclub and ask them directly. tip: call the nightclub during the daytime - most clubs have daystaff stocking the shelves for the nightshift; that's s.o.p for most anywhere, not just the u.s..
