Boot & Flogger

This hidden gem, a short walk from London Bridge, is London’s first real wine bar opened in 1964 by John Davy trading as a Free Vintner. Brimming with genuine character and jovial service, it has the feel of a private members club and is home to some of the most original private rooms in the area.

Great wine bar in Borough! It's hard to tell from the outside, but the place is massive! There's group seating downstairs and a lovely little courtyard out back.

Lisa Pinto-Grinham

An amazingly unreconstructed old school bar . Very good food and excellent service. Apparently the wine list is well worth exploring too!

Aaron

Quite an authentic and interesting pub that's altogether different than other throwbacks. Lots of history. Good service . Food is pretty tasty. I'd like to go back to try more of their cellar.

Giacomo Mason

A hidden gem in Southwark! Elegant old timey interiors, good selection of wines and ports , and the food looked good as well (although I didn't have any)

Chris R (thechristophe)

An excellent wine bar, tucked away, absolutely impeccable interiors. Good for secret rendezvous.

Dark and cavernous with an excellent wine list. Note that they have grouse at present as a seasonal special .

Intimate wine bar hidden away near the crossbones Cemetary. Great selection of beer too.

Toby stokes

No matter how much of a good idea it seems at the time, do not buy a cigar . It greatly adds to hangover.

Mark Field

Tucked away, wonderfully relaxing; good food, very good wine . Note: it is a WINE bar . So don't ask for beer , fool.
