Gordon’s Wine Bar has welcomed London wine drinkers since 1890 and is thought to be the oldest wine bar in the city. Still owned and overseen by the Gordon family, it preserves a sense of continuity that feels especially striking beside the busy streets around Charing Cross and Embankment.

The vaulted cellar is the heart of the experience, illuminated by candlelight and lined with old photographs, historic newspaper clippings and oak barrels holding sherry and port. Guests can retreat to an intimate table below ground or choose the heated outdoor seating along Watergate Walk for a brighter view of the surrounding area.

Wine remains the central attraction, with bottles selected from classic European regions, South America, the United Kingdom and less expected producers around the world. Long relationships with family vineyards and artisan growers give the list a personal character, while the staff can help guests choose a glass or suggest a suitable pairing.

Cheese, charcuterie, sharing boards, salads and dishes prepared in house provide generous accompaniments to the wine, with vegetarian and vegan choices also available. Tables are offered on a first come first served basis, adding to the informal spirit of a place that works equally well for a quiet glass, a romantic date or an evening with friends and family.
