The Wine Library

Fabulous place! The wine was divine, loved the setting and the sharing platters were delicious (and great portions) highly highly recommend! The staff was wonderful very helpful and kind

My new favourite library in the world.
The librarian Peter was very knowledgeable and guided us with our taste.
A must visit place if you’re having a bad hot day!

like Gordon's in the good old days - but much better lit
really good wine selection including by the glass
scrumptious platters and impeccably good service and very knowledgeable staff

Mid afternoon drinks with their lovely Wine Library platter.
Interesting wines by the glass selection. The proprietor is knowledgeable and happy to engage in conversation.

Just amazing, why haven’t I been here before! 🤦‍♂

Fantastic choice of wine with a knowledgeable team, atmospheric cellars and I must try the food next time.

A hidden gem

Awesome choice of fine wines available to drink in with a small corkage fee or to takeaway. Excellent pate cheeses and charcuterie to accompany your wine. The friendly service just the icing on the cake. We'll be back again.

Great place for a wine tasting event. Extensive collections of wines with a very well versed host.

They have wine to go, wine by the bottle and wine but the glass. The proprietor was very knowledgeable and was happy to show us around to help us pick out a wine. I would definitely suggest you stop by if you are at all into wine.

Very pleasant bottle of wine in a cosy underground cellar. Will do this again and leave room for the attractive charcuterie boards.

Fabulous little hidden gem in the heart of London! Located near the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. The staff was friendly and attentive. I am not a wine-o but they did a great job of walking my husband and I through some of their wines by the glass. We had four excellent glasses and the wine library platter was a great assortment of cheeses, meats, breads, and so on. I highly recommend stopping in for an afternoon to find a wine that you may never have tried before.

Called in for quick drink for a bit of respite from the chaos of the underground on a busy Saturday afternoon. Despite being dressed for a Gun's N' Roses concert that evening, and being in a rather posh looking wine bar, the owner was friendly, welcoming and charming. We shared a beautiful glass of wine in lovely, peaceful surroundings. For a couple of Northerners lost in the chaos of London this was a lovely little oasis of calm. The owners a gent and not being particular wine connoisseurs we were able to explain our tastes and he recommended a glass of which was, for me, one of the nicest wines I've ever had. Loved this place. Manners cost nothing and in a city that lacks it so often (sorry, but head north and you'll find we take our manners a bit more seriously!) this lovely little bar made us feel right at home. Loved it!

Great service from Ines! The food and drink were lovely

An absolute treasure of an establishment, I'm so glad that it has survived the lockdowns. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff can help guide you around a very wide selection of good wine. The corkage charge is reasonable, you don't feel ripped off like in some wine bars. The cellar seating environment is very appealing. Not many tables, which makes it more pleasant as an atmosphere, just worth booking ahead

Stunning collection of wine and cheeses! Bit of a hidden gem - highly recommend a visit if you love wine!

A great little Gem of a wine lovers venue and not your normal winebar being hidden in the basement of a georgian building in two long vaulted rooms. Very experienced staff with fantastic knowlwdge of wines from around the world. Fantastic selection of wines available at a prices that range from the everyday wines to something very special. A great place to meet with friends and enjoy the wonderful cold buffets at lunchtime. Booking in advance is best to avoid disappointment as this is a very popular venue for the insurance and banking industries. I've been gpoing to this venue since 1990 and have always had perfect service, wine & food.

To all at The Wine Library,

Thank you very much for the very pleasant Rioja wine tasting experience you ran in September 2022.

The Rioja wine selection, service & charcuterie provided was sublime. In particular, Peter’s presentation was exceptional. I look forward to joining you all again soon.

Yours sincerely,
Sara Aydarus

We came here for a private event a couple of months ago and it was fantastic. Lovely wine, good atmosphere and friendly and generous staff. Will definitely come back as I've heard they have a lovely buffet lunch. Thanks again for hosting us team!

Lovely little place with a unique selection of whatever you are after. The entrepreneur is very knowledgeable and helpful in selecting what matches your occasion. He even helped me out with a bottle opener at N/C. Great customer service.

Excellent range of wines, deep knowledge of the product and a fine atmosphere with interesting and well presented fixed price lunches.

The most awesome oenological experience in London.

Low key wine bar heaven. Arched wine bar/shop with a decent selection of mainstream and lower volume producers. The value varies, high volume not so much, low volume excellent. Special house champagne cuvée £25.99, yet to taste but it has to be better that anything in a supermarket for that price.

Small selection of mid/low range wines by the glass.
Definite return for a bottle at £9.95 corkage.
