Gordon's Wine Bar

Candlelit cellars off Villiers Street, where the room is the reason to come.

Wine bar

Their own claim is London's oldest wine bar, and the back room makes the case: a barrel-vaulted cellar lit by candles, blackened walls, wooden benches, and news clippings from the 1900s still pinned up. Sherry and madeira come from the cask, and there is a serious cheese and cold meat counter.

Be clear about what it is here for. The list is broad and perfectly good without being the reason to cross London — you come for the atmosphere, which nowhere else in the city has. No reservations, so it fills from about six, and in summer the tables spill out onto Watergate Walk.
