London's best wine bars

  • 28°-50° Wine Workshop & Kitchen

    140 Fetter Lane, London, EC4A 1BT

    This venture, named after the latitudes between which wine is produced, is a dark, concentrated basement for serious contemplation of wine and food matching. It's a real joy to be... Read 28°-50° Wine Workshop & Kitchen review

  • Bar Pepito

    Varnishers Yard, Regents Quarter, London, N1 9FD

    Tucked away in a courtyard accessible via an alley at the foot of Pentonville Road, this rustic, Andalucían-themed bar is dedicated to sherry. With room for only four or five tables, all... Read Bar Pepito review

  • Wonder Bar

    Selfridges, 400 Oxford Street, London, W1A 1AB

    When the Wonder Bar opened in 2007, occupying a red and blond wood space on a mezzanine above Selfridges' wine department, the concept seemed very attractive. The new... Read Wonder Bar review
