Aces Foodcraft

££££
Fitzrovia·Fine Dining Restaurant

Small, and shaped around the counter rather than a cellar: Burgundy does most of the work, with Domaine Jean Féry and Philippe Pacalet giving it more than a token presence, and Champagne sized for a menu that arrives in courses. Rolly Gassmann brings Alsace, Peyrassol the Provençal rosé, and Recas Cramele an unexpected Romanian corner nobody put there by accident. Nothing here is cheap at the entry point. Come with the tasting menu in mind — the list is short enough that fighting it costs you the better half of it.

66 wines·13 by glass·£45–£620

BRAT Restaurant

££
Shoreditch·Basque Restaurant

Built with Keeling Andrew & Co (Noble Rot's import arm), the list leans natural and food-friendly rather than trophy-driven — Txakoli (Ameztoi) and a strong sherry selection sit alongside small-grower Spanish reds (Ribeira Sacra, Rioja) built to stand up to charcoal and wood smoke. Approachable pricing, curious rather than showy.

320 wines·2 by glass·£31–£2441

Burro

££
Covent Garden·Italian restaurant

Champagne opens this list, and it leans towards growers — Ulysse Colin, Jacques Lassaigne and Jérôme Prévost, with Charles Heidsieck for the house style. What follows refuses a Piedmont-and-Tuscany spine and spreads instead: Miani in Friuli, Emidio Pepe in Abruzzo, Poderi Aldo Conterno and Fontodi anchoring the famous ends without taking over. Prices stop well short of collecting, so this is a list for an ordinary Tuesday. Begin with a grower Champagne, then take whichever Italian region you know least — that is how it is built to be read.

200 wines·£36–£485

Cabotte

£££
City of London·French restaurant

Six hundred and eighty-one bins anchored by Burgundy's 385 holdings, with Domaine Coche-Dury, Domaine de Montille, and Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey each appearing twelve times. Entry wines start at £5, the median sits at £185, and a 1963 Fonseca Vintage Port reaches £450. Red dominates at 56 per cent; white claims 36 per cent. Bierzo, Burgenland, Catalonia, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Pfalz each appear once. Approach by vintage depth: the oldest here dates to 1963.

697 wines·£35–£8500

Cafe Murano St James

£££
St James's·Italian restaurant

A 161-bin list with 26 by-the-glass options spanning entry wines at £32 to £575, median £72. Piedmont and Tuscany anchor the collection with 29 bins each; Tenuta Fertuna, Angelo Gaja, and Cantina Bolzano each appear multiple times. Sparkling represents 14% of the range, white and red split the core at 34% and 39%. Sussex and Trentino show particular strength among English and northern Italian producers. Sardinia remains thinly represented. Approach by vintage depth—the 2011 Perillo Taurasi at £130 signals serious cellaring—and work through the by-the-glass selection (£9–£33) to navigate the broader list.

161 wines·26 by glass·£32–£575

Carbone London

££££
Mayfair·Italian restaurant

Nineteen hundred bins anchored by Burgundy (369 references) and Tuscany (266), with Piedmont's Giacomo Conterno and Bruno Giacosa well represented at 29 and 25 bottles respectively. Entry wines start at £14, the median sits at £510, and a 1957 Rieussec fetches £600. Red dominates at 70 per cent; white and sparkling together account for 28 per cent. Castilla y León appears only once. Approach this list vertically within classic regions, or hunt the larger-format bottles—magnums number 104—for serious cellaring.

1503 wines·£14–£29500

Chez Rose

££££
Mayfair·Bistro

Two hundred twenty-seven bins span Burgundy (43 references) and Bordeaux (25), with Champagne and four Italian regions equally represented at 13 each. Entry wines start at £14—a 1992 Domaine Rancy Rivesaltes—and the median sits at £96, with the third quartile at £185. Leeuwin Estate appears five times; Perrier-Jouet and Philippe Pacalet four each. Red dominates at 55 per cent, white at 30 per cent, with sparkling at 8 per cent. Campania, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardy, Napa Valley and Puglia each appear once. Approach this list by anchoring to Burgundy's depth, then branch into the Italian selections for contrast.

172 wines·28 by glass·£35–£4500

Clipstone

££
Fitzrovia·European restaurant

Sixty-three bins spanning Bordeaux and Burgundy (eight entries each) with entry wines at £52 and a median of £100. Frederic Cossard appears twice across the selection. Sparkling represents 13 per cent, white and red each substantial at 33 and 44 per cent respectively. Rosé and orange each claim 5 per cent. Depth in California, Catalonia, and Burgenland remains limited to single bottles. Reach for the 1980 Hermitage La Chapelle at £360, or explore the mid-range around £75–£144 on your next visit.

63 wines·£52–£360

Core by Clare Smyth

££££
Notting Hill·Fine Dining Restaurant

A substantial collection of 1,224 bins anchored in Burgundy (294 references) and Bordeaux (146), with Champagne representing a tenth of the list. Entry wines start at £5; the median sits at £300, with a quarter-bottle threshold around £180. Coche-Dury and Jean-Marc Roulot each appear 17 and 12 times respectively, while Dom Pérignon dominates at 23 selections. Red comprises just over half the list, white a third. Southern Italian regions—Abruzzo, Campania—appear only twice each. Approach this as a serious Burgundy-focused cellar: drink the affordable whites on your first visit, return for the classified growths.

1270 wines·36 by glass·£60–£12000

Corenucopia by Clare Smyth

££££
Belgravia·Bistro

Six hundred and forty-nine bins anchored by Burgundy (153 references) and Bordeaux (98), with Champagne at 47.

Red dominates at 53 per cent, white at 33 per cent, with sparkling at 8 per cent. Representation from Baden, Bairrada, Corsica, Dao and Franken remains minimal. Approach this as a serious Burgundy and Bordeaux list, building outward.

651 wines·30 by glass·£50–£8500

££££

Over 1,074 bins anchored by Bordeaux (180) and Burgundy (161), with Napa Valley (100) and Champagne (81) in support. Entry wines start at £16, median £535, climbing to £30,000. Château Lafite Rothschild appears 50 times; Sine Qua Non 31. Red dominates at 65%, white at 21%, sparkling at 9%. A 1965 Château Lafite Rothschild sits at £7,500. Bairrada, Bierzo, Corsica, Pfalz and Trentino each appear once only. Approach this as a serious collector's list: work backwards from the oldest vintages, or build sideways through Sine Qua Non's range.

1074 wines·36 by glass·£16–£30000

Dante Mayfair

££££
Mayfair·Restaurant

Eighteen hundred and fifty-eight bins anchored by Champagne (307) and Burgundy (267), with sparkling representing 18% of the list. Entry wines start at £5, the median sits at £280, and top-tier bottles reach £15,000. Mayacamas appears 35 times, Gaja 28, and E Guigal 24 across the range. Bairrada, Dao, Franschhoek, Hampshire and Liguria each appear once only. Approach this as a serious Burgundy and Champagne collector's list, working upward from the £140 quartile mark.

1853 wines·61 by glass·£45–£15000

Dorian Restaurant

££££
Notting Hill·Restaurant

Burgundy dominates this 1,676-bin list, with 604 selections anchored by Domaine de Montille (21 bins), Domaine B&S Tissot (16), and PY Colin Morey (16). Entry wines start at £50, the median sits at £180, and bottles climb to £9,990. Piedmont (126 bins) and Bordeaux (102) provide ballast; Jura contributes 87. Red accounts for 57 per cent, white 34 per cent. Magnums number 132. Bairrada, Bierzo, Kent, Roussillon, and Sardinia appear only once each. Approach by region and vintage depth rather than by-the-glass convenience.

1676 wines·£50–£9990

Goodman

££££
Mayfair·Steak house

Four hundred and ninety-three bins anchored by California and Bordeaux, with entry wines at £10 and a median of £150. Kistler and Vergelegen each appear five times; Antinori, Ashes & Diamonds, and Duckhorn four times each. Red dominates at 74 per cent, white at 17 per cent, with sparkling and fortified in supporting roles. Abruzzo, Beaujolais, Essex, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Mosel appear only once each. Approach this as a New World–weighted list with classical European backbone: drink the Californians young, or hunt the older Bordeaux and the 1980 Warre's Port at £330.

493 wines·38 by glass·£10–£5700

Gymkhana

££££
Mayfair·Indian restaurant

Five hundred and two bins anchored by Burgundy (75 references) and Bordeaux (41), with Piedmont and Champagne well represented. Michele Chiarlo and Benedicte & Stephane Tissot each appear multiple times. Entry wines start at £50, the median sits at £178, and a 1982 Château Léoville Las Cases reaches £980. Red dominates at 56 per cent; white comprises a third. Bierzo, Catalonia, Essex, Hampshire, and Lisbon appear only once each. Approach this list by the glass sparingly—just 23 pours available—and commit to bottle.

502 wines·23 by glass·£50–£7200

Hawksmoor Air Street

£££
St James's·Steak house

A 180-bin list anchored by Champagne (15 bins) and Piedmont (11), with sparkling accounting for 18% of holdings. Entry wines start at £38, median £99, climbing to £1,350. Charles Heidsieck and Pulenta Estate each appear three times. Red dominates at 46%, white at 31%, though Alsace, Campania, Catalonia, Dao and Douro each claim just one bin. Approach by vintage depth—Palmer & Co. 1985 sits at £640—and let the by-the-glass selection (£46–£120) guide shorter visits.

180 wines·8 by glass·£38–£1350

Hawksmoor Spitalfields

£££
Spitalfields·Steak house

A 126-bin list anchored by California (13 references) and Burgundy (10), with Piedmont and the Rhônes well represented. Entry wines start at £12, the median sits at £100, and a 1989 Jaboulet La Chapelle reaches £475. Pulenta Estate appears three times; Cavas de Weinert, Dominio del Aguila, F. Rinaldi, and Mas de Daumas Gassac each feature twice. Red dominates at two-thirds of the list, white at a quarter. Champagne holds just one slot. Approach this as a New World–Old World hybrid: drink the Argentine and Rhône depth first, then explore the Burgundy backbone.

126 wines·19 by glass·£12–£498

Hawksmoor St Pancras and Martini Bar

King's Cross·Steak house

One hundred forty-five bins with twenty-two by-the-glass options (£12–£25) anchor a list where entry wines start at £7 and the median sits at £76. Piedmont leads with eleven references, followed by Burgundy's eight; Pieropan and Valdespino each appear three times. Red dominates at 41 per cent, white at 30 per cent, and sparkling at 11 per cent, with rosé at 8 per cent. Abruzzo, Alsace, Burgenland, Catalonia, and Corsica appear only once each. A 1988 Château Latour Les Forts de Latour reaches £540. Approach this as a serious Piedmont and Burgundy list; drink by region rather than guessing.

145 wines·22 by glass·£7–£850

Hélène Darroze at The Connaught

££££
Mayfair·French restaurant

Burgundy and Champagne carry this cellar, and both go far past where a wine list normally stops. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti runs deep enough to read as a vertical; Krug and Billecart-Salmon hold the Champagne end; Trimbach takes Alsace further than most cellars bother to. Magnums are stocked for a table that has outgrown a bottle. Bottles at the shallow end sit within reach of an ordinary dinner, directly beneath ones priced like a holiday. Choose the producer, then the year — reading this list sideways will defeat you.

2698 wines·64 by glass·£35–£60000

HENRI

£££
Covent Garden·French restaurant

Three hundred and eight bins anchored by Burgundy (61 references) and Loire (34), with white and red equally weighted at 38 and 46 per cent. Entry wines start at £20, the median sits at £104, and a 1966 Haut-Brion reaches £665. Benoit Moreau, Envínate, and Tardieu-Laurent each appear four times. Baden, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Kamptal, Liguria, and Lombardy appear only once each. Approach this list for its classical French depth, returning to the by-the-glass selection (£7–£19) for a focused evening.

308 wines·20 by glass·£20–£3899

Ibai

££££
Smithfield·Basque Restaurant

Three hundred and fifteen bins anchored by Burgundy (50 references) and Bordeaux (41), with substantial Rioja representation through Roda, Artadi, and Finca Allende. Entry wines start at £40; the median sits at £156, climbing to £230 at the upper quartile. Red dominates at 64 per cent, white at 22 per cent, with sparkling and fortified each claiming 5 per cent. Alentejo, Bairrada, and Friuli appear only in single bottles. Approach this list for classic structure and age-worthiness, particularly the 1975 Taylor's at £330.

315 wines·£40–£1600

Kerridge's

££££
Strand·Modern British

Five hundred and eighty-seven bins anchored by Champagne (77) and Burgundy (67), with Domaine Coche-Dury, Gaja, and Laurent-Perrier each appearing ten times. Entry wines start at £30, the median sits at £217, and a 1939 Château Cheval Blanc reaches £3,100. Red dominates at 49%, white at 27%, sparkling at 16%. Alsace, Beaujolais, Franschhoek, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Jerez each appear once. Approach this list by the glass (£13–£47) or commit to serious bottles; magnums and larger formats reward group dining.

587 wines·26 by glass·£30–£6250

KOL

££££
Marylebone·Mexican restaurant

Four hundred and ninety-three bins span Burgundy (99 references) and Champagne (63), with sparkling accounting for 14% of the list. Entry wines start at £10, the median sits at £200, and a 1969 Pierre Peltier Chateau Chalon reaches £230. Klaus Peter Keller and Comando G anchor the producers with 20 and 12 selections respectively. Abruzzo, Alsace, Catalonia, Languedoc and Lombardy appear only in single bottles. Approach this list for its classical French spine and German depth, working upward from the £130 quartile.

491 wines·22 by glass·£10–£2600

Labombe by Trivet

££££
Mayfair·Fine Dining Restaurant

Six hundred and thirty bins anchored by Burgundy's 169 entries, with Piedmont (59) and Champagne (37) in support. Entry wines start at £29; the median sits at £200, with the quartile spread from £115 to £385. Domaine Fourrier and Marjan Simcic each appear multiple times across the list. Red dominates at 52 per cent, white at 35 per cent, sparkling at 7 per cent. Abruzzo, Alentejo, Baden, Bairrada and Bierzo appear only once each. Approach this as a serious Burgundy list first, then explore the secondary regions for contrast.

630 wines·28 by glass·£29–£7500

Lita Marylebone

££££
Marylebone·Mediterranean restaurant

Two hundred seventy-seven bins anchored by Burgundy (68 references) and Bordeaux (36), with Hubert Lignier, Valentini, and Dom Pérignon each appearing three times. Entry wines start at £14, the median sits at £178, and a 1967 Colares fetches £220. Sparkling represents 6% of the list; red dominates at 53%, white at 32%. A rare 1967 Colares offers historical depth, though Baden, Beaujolais, Corsica, Dao, and Douro appear only once each. Approach this list by the glass (£12–£75 range) or commit to bottles in the £100–£400 band for serious Burgundy and Tuscan holdings.

339 wines·35 by glass·£65–£5900

Lurra

££££
Marylebone·Basque Restaurant

A 140-bin list anchored in Spanish tradition, with Rioja (28 bins) and Ribera del Duero (15) dominating. Entry wines start at £40; the median sits at £116. By-the-glass options number 34, spanning £12 to £540. R. López de Heredia and Vega Sicilia each appear seven times, Remelluri five. A 1930 Lustau Pedro Ximenez VORS at £225 anchors the fortified selection. Red comprises 56% of the list; white and sparkling together account for 35%. Bierzo, Dorset, Douro, Jura, and Kent each appear once only. Approach this as a deep Spanish red collection with serious depth in Rioja's classics and modern Ribera producers.

140 wines·34 by glass·£40–£1000

Maison François

£££
St James's·Restaurant

A 125-bin list anchored by Champagne's fourteen entries, with Philipponnat appearing seven times across vintages back to 2000's Grand Blanc de Blancs at £290. Entry wines start at £30, the median sits at £80, and a quarter of bottles exceed £120. Sparkling represents 15% of the selection; red and white split the remainder fairly evenly. Burgundy appears only once. Approach this as a Champagne-focused list with Loire support, drawing on depth in the classic regions rather than breadth across France.

125 wines·£30–£600

manteca

£££
Shoreditch·Italian restaurant

Two hundred and forty-two bins spanning Italy's heartland—Piedmont dominates with forty-five selections—alongside Burgundy and Catalunya. Entry wines start at £31, median £75, with G.B. Burlotto and Ar.Pe.Pe. each appearing multiple times. Sparkling comprises a tenth of the list; white and orange together account for a third. Beaujolais appears only once. Approach this as a serious Italian collection with classical depth: seek the 2001 Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva at £325, or drink young from the by-the-glass selection, priced £7–£37.

242 wines·22 by glass·£31–£550

Mezzogiorno by Francesco Mazzei

££££
Strand·Italian restaurant

756 bins spanning Champagne (109), Piedmont (71), and Burgundy (58), with sparkling at 18% and red dominating at 53%. Entry wines start at £5, the median sits at £200, and a 1945 Taylor's reaches £900. Gaja appears 14 times, Laurent-Perrier 12. Bairrada, Beaujolais, Liguria, Penedes, and Rias Baixas each appear once only. Approach this as a collector's list: drink the Champagne on arrival, explore Gaja's range across vintages.

748 wines·33 by glass·£48–£10000

Mount St. Restaurant

Mayfair·British restaurant

Two hundred and ninety bins spanning Burgundy (57 references) and Bordeaux (32), with Champagne at 29 and California at 13. Entry wines start at £46, the median sits at £185, and a 1977 Pereira D'Oliveira Madeira Sercial reaches £350. Louis Roederer appears six times, Château Simone five. Red dominates at 46 per cent, white at 35 per cent, sparkling at 12 per cent. Mosel appears only once. Approach this list by vintage depth and regional focus rather than by-the-glass convenience.

289 wines·£46–£3400

Mountain Beak Street

££££
Soho·Spanish restaurant

One of London's most decorated wine lists — named Star Wine List's Best Wine List in the UK 2024 and Best Spanish Wine List in the UK 2025. Curated by Holly Willcocks and Martina Larnach, the list is grower- and producer-led rather than trophy-driven: small-grower Champagne, Jura, and natural Rhône sit alongside a deep, characterful Spanish selection that matches the Basque wood-fired kitchen — the same curious, food-first sensibility Tomos Parry's team built at Brat, expanded here into a genuinely wine-forward destination in its own right.

788 wines·£35–£4560

Murano

££££
Mayfair·Fine Dining Restaurant

Four hundred and seventy-six bins anchored by Tuscany (53), Burgundy (52), and Piedmont (44), with entry wines from £23 and a median of £180. Angelo Gaja and Cantina Terlano lead the producers. White and red split evenly at 35 and 43 per cent respectively, fortified at 8 per cent. By-the-glass pours run £11–£95. Baden, Beaujolais, California, Itata, and Kent appear only once each. Approach this as a serious Italian and French collection: drink the Emidio Pepe when it's available.

476 wines·35 by glass·£23–£6500

NAKIMUSHI

·Japanese restaurant
154 wines·£50–£8880

Noble Rot Bloomsbury

£££
Mayfair·Restaurant

Yquem appears often enough here to count as a house position rather than a flourish, which tells you what this cellar is quietly for. Around it sit Roulot in Meursault, Arnoux Lachaux in the Côte de Nuits, and Jules Desjourneys making Beaujolais that behaves like Burgundy — with Haut-Brion held back and given age. Bordeaux and Burgundy are the spine; the Jura is the detour worth taking. Treat the sweet wine as a course rather than a coda, and order it before the pudding lands.

1258 wines·£27–£7297

Noble Rot Mayfair

£££
Mayfair·Restaurant

A substantial cellar of 1,378 bins anchored by Burgundy (239 selections) and Bordeaux (172), with Champagne and Loire providing secondary depth. Entry wines start at £28, the median sits at £119, and bottles climb to £6,882. Arnoux Lachaux and Roulot each appear a dozen times. Red dominates at 55 per cent; white and sparkling together account for 35 per cent. Magnums number 39. Baden, Bakio, Beira, Calabria, and Franken appear only once each. Approach this list for classic French structure, working upwards from the £83 quartile.

1378 wines·26 by glass·£28–£6882

Noble Rot Soho

£££
Soho·Restaurant

Start in the Rhône. J.L. Chave is stocked with the seriousness usually reserved for the Côte d'Or, and Hermitage from that address is the argument for being here rather than at the Bloomsbury original. Les Horées and L'Archiviste bring the newer Burgundian négociant wave; Rousset-Martin holds the Jura; Roulot anchors the whites. Fortified wine is a thread here rather than a courtesy, Madeira included. Finish with something old and brown — it is the part of this list people skip, and regret skipping.

1098 wines·94 by glass·£28–£6402

One Club Row

£££
Shoreditch·Restaurant

Nothing repeats. Every grower appears a single time, which makes this less a cellar than a set of individual choices — Domaine Amiot Serville in Morey-Saint-Denis, Sylvain Langoureau in Saint-Aubin, André Perret in Condrieu. The Northern Rhône is the quiet strength; skin contact gets its own section, with Foradori in it, though orange stays a thread rather than the argument. There is serious drinking by the glass, and a ceiling low enough that the most expensive bottle is still an ordinary decision. Order by the glass until something makes you stop.

51 wines·16 by glass·£40–£145

Osteria Vibrato

££££
Soho·Italian restaurant

Two hundred and forty-five bins spanning Burgundy (37), Sicily (25), and Piedmont (17), with entry wines at £44 and a median of £138. Le Coste di Gradoli and Arianna Occhipinti anchor the list with ten and seven selections respectively. By-the-glass pours run £11–£22. Red dominates at 46%, white at 35%, with sparkling and dessert rounding out the range. Languedoc, Sardinia, and Southern Rhône appear only in single bottles. Approach this as a serious Burgundy and Italian-focused list: drink the Sicilian naturals young, or reach for the 1995 Allemand Cornas at £498 when the occasion demands depth.

245 wines·13 by glass·£44–£800

Portland

££££
Fitzrovia·Restaurant

A 182-bin list with 29 by-the-glass options, anchored by Burgundy's 42 references and Bordeaux's 15. Entry wines start at £47, with the median at £145 and a quarter of bottles under £88. Francois Cotat appears five times, Philipponnat four; Château d'Yquem and David Moret each claim three slots. Red and white split evenly at 38 and 37 per cent respectively, with sparkling at 13 per cent. Abruzzo, Alsace, Castilla La Mancha, Catalonia and Dao each appear once only. Drink the 1988 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage at £247, or approach by colour and price tier.

182 wines·29 by glass·£47–£1480

Quality Wines

££
Farringdon·Restaurant

Two hundred and seventy-one bins anchored by Burgundy (36 selections) and Loire (25), with entry wines at £32 and a median of £87. Tempier appears seven times; Ariane Lesne, Niepoort, Olivier Horiot, and Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey each feature four times. White and red split evenly at 34 and 42 per cent, with orange and sparkling adding texture. Southern Italy barely registers—Calabria, Campania, and Sicily combined account for nine selections. Approach this list for classic French structure, then explore the orange and sparkling margins.

271 wines·£32–£650

Restaurant Story

££££
London Bridge·Fine Dining Restaurant

Two hundred fifty-seven bins with twenty-two by-the-glass options spanning entry wines at £12 through to £6,500. The median sits at £158, with the first quartile at £98. Burgundy dominates with forty references, supported by Loire's sixteen and the Rhône's eleven. Artelium and Castagna each appear four times. Red comprises forty-three per cent of the list, white thirty-six per cent, with sparkling and dessert wines at ten and nine per cent respectively. Abruzzo, Beaujolais, Bekaa Valley, Campania and Castilla y León each appear once only. Drink across formats: magnums available, or explore by-the-glass selections from £11 to £255.

257 wines·22 by glass·£12–£6500

Rosi at The Beaumont

££££
Mayfair·Restaurant

A 176-bin list with 44 by-the-glass options spanning £55 to £2,100, anchored by Burgundy (30 bins) and Bordeaux (20). Entry wines start at £55, with the median at £130 and the 75th percentile at £236. Burgundy dominates; Piedmont and Champagne follow. Fortified and sparkling each represent meaningful portions. Fonseca, Henriques & Henriques, and Billecart-Salmon appear multiple times. Alsace, Kamptal, Kent, Marche, and Pfalz each appear once only. Drink by the glass (£10–£340 range) or commit to a bottle; the 1995 Château Angelus sits at £1,680.

515 wines·50 by glass·£45–£2650

Row on 5

££££
Mayfair·Fine Dining Restaurant

Five hundred and eighty-eight bins anchored by Champagne (105 selections) and Loire (38), with Jura and Northern Rhône well represented. Entry wines start at £39; the median sits at £211, with quartile pricing at £130 and £415. Berthet Bondet appears 16 times, Hugel 11. Sparkling comprises a fifth of the list, white 41 per cent, red 29 per cent. A 1961 Veuve Clicquot Brut survives at £41. Rias Baixas appears only once. Approach this as a serious Champagne and white-wine destination; drink by the bottle.

588 wines·£39–£10000

Spring Restaurant

Strand·Restaurant

A 152-bin list with 26 by-the-glass options spanning £24 to £490. Entry wines start at £24, with the median at £82 and the third quartile at £124. Red and white split evenly at 36% each, supported by 13% sparkling. Swartland dominates with 15 references; Burgundy and Bordeaux follow with 10 and 7. Entre Vinyes appears four times, Domaine Tempier and Domaine Hugo three each. Alsace, Baden, Catalonia, Itata and Kamptal each appear once. Drink the by-the-glass selection (£6–£22) to navigate the list's breadth without commitment.

152 wines·26 by glass·£24–£490

Sucre Restaurant

£££
Soho·Argentinian restaurant

A 143-bin list anchored by Champagne (11 bins) and Bordeaux (10), with reds dominating at 58 per cent and whites at 29 per cent. Entry wines start at £39, the median sits at £99, and a 1985 Château Haut Brion reaches £1,500. Familia Zuccardi and Catena Zapata lead the producer count with five and four bins respectively. Beaujolais appears only once. Approach this as a Bordeaux-and-Burgundy drinker's list, with serious depth in the classics and Argentine muscle beneath.

143 wines·19 by glass·£39–£1500

The 10 Cases

££

The Albatross

City of London·British Seafood

A serious wine list for a pub, curated by Shane McHugh (Head of Beverage for the wider Wild Group, including Goodman). By-the-glass runs through a Coravin system in 125ml/175ml pours, so pricier bottles — Chablis 1er Cru, Saint-Joseph, Santenay 1er Cru, Châteauneuf-du-Pape — are pourable without committing to the full bottle. The bottle list has real depth in Champagne and Burgundy alongside smart New World picks (Bergström, Kutch, Arnot-Roberts), spanning roughly £70 to £145+.
