Our selection of the best London Bridge wine bars


It’s an understatement to say London Bridge is busy – thanks to the monuments, train and Underground stations, and proximity to the City, its streets are frequented by tourists and Londoners alike.


It’s not a large neighourhood, which sounds like a good thing when it comes to the topic of wine bars – London Bridge has several packed into a relatively small area. However, it just means you have to compete with office workers and other Londoners to get a booking.


Just pray the tourists are too occupied with their confusion over the fact that London Bridge doesn’t look like Tower Bridge to be in the know about the wine bars or you’ll be competing with them, too.

1. The Spanish wine bar: Bar Daskal

London Bridge, London

Bar Daskal is a Spanish wine bar named after seafaring artist Daskal – grandfather to the bar’s owners – who was based out of Estellencs in Majorca. This London Bridge wine bar has a creamy-coloured interior that lends itself to minimalist earth-tone furnishings. It’s cool, stylish, and feels like a Spanish villa transported to London. The focus at Bar Daskal is Spanish wines and sherries, coupled with its stunning event space on its second floor, it’s an ideal spot for private hire, but equally great for popping in for a casual wine session.
