• Why we recommend: this is one of our very favourite wine bars in the whole city, and there's a real history to it too. One of London's original spots for drinking quality wine, we feel instantly at home in this charming space

The Boot and Flogger is the original site from Davy's Wine Bars, dating back to 1965. It has been previously named No. 1 'best-reviewed in London' by DesignMyNight, and for good reason, thanks to its rustic, homely interior and excellent selection of drinks. Surround yourself with white brick walls, tiled floors and wooden beamed ceilings, with lots of cosy touches throughout.

It began life operating under the historic Free Vintners' license from the Worshipful Company of Vintners', meaning that they could only sell wine. This made it a truly unique venue, as back in the 60s high-end wine by the glass was usually only found at luxury hotels. Today, while the bar has expanded, the focus is still firmly on premium vino, which you can enjoy alongside dishes like roast rump of lamb, wild mushroom and aubergine stroganoff or locally sourced steaks.

The flagship location for the venue group, Bedales of Borough Market is a wine shop, bar and bistro inside a former potato storehouse. You may have seen it featured as the Greek restaurant in Bridget Jones' Diary, sat right in the heart of the bustling market. Inside, you'll find a wine cellar and an open kitchen, or head outside to sit on their vibrant terrace.

Their wine list is made up of bottles from independent producers and family-owned estates, with a rotating selection of glasses available. They also serve tasty food like jamon Iberico croquettes, seared halloumi and fried pizzetta, curating a warm, Mediterranean vibe.

They sell a huge variety of wines by the glass, as well as in carafes and bottles - including orange wine. There are cocktails up for grabs too, alongside mouthwatering plates such as baked camembert, Champagne-battered fish and chips or cured meat boards.
