Quite possibly the oldest wine bar in London (it opened in 1890), cavernous, candlelit and atmospheric Gordon’s is a victim of its own success – it's relentlessly busy, and unless you arrive before the office crowd does, forget about landing a table. Nibble on cheese, bread and olives with your plonk – there's even a vegan/organic wine list.
Warm weather increases the available space, as tables are set out on Watergate Walk.
