London Natural Wine Bars
A curated guide to London's best spots for organic, biodynamic & low-intervention wines
What to Expect
Natural wine is made with minimal chemical or technological intervention—organic or biodynamic grapes, native yeasts, and little to no added sulfites.
East London
The beloved P. Franco reborn. An intimate space with one large communal table, hundreds of bottles lining the walls, and rotating chef residencies serving exceptional small plates. Old World focus with many wines selected after staff visit vineyards personally.
The iconic East London pioneer that's been shaping the scene since 2013. Candlelit, intimate, and energetic with world-class bottles at generous margins. Famous for their cheese toasties and Coravin pours from the cellar.
From Yukiyasu Kaneko (former Noma sommelier and P. Franco alum), this railway arch bar has a Tokyo backstreet vibe. Moody, dimly-lit, and serious about rare natural wines paired with Japanese-European small plates like chicken tsukune and beef tataki.
A French cave à vin that evolved from Dina. Tiny, perma-packed, and candlelit with a cheeky ceramic pig on the bar. The wine list celebrates small producers you won't find elsewhere, paired with French snacks like anchovy-crowned oeufs mayonnaise and ox tongue buns.
From the Top Cuvée team, this is part bottle shop upstairs, part subterranean wine cave downstairs. Parisian secret-bar meets university hangout. Excellent hot dogs, cocktails by Three Sheets, and a 2-4-1 happy hour from 2-6pm daily.
A converted blinds shop (hence the name) with original mid-century parquet flooring. French-run with a Belleville atmosphere—understated and perfect for anonymous, delightful drinking. Chilled reds and excellent tinned fish from Provisions across the road.
From Dan Long (Natty Boy Wines), this is a relaxed, inclusive bar with over 600 bottles available. Categories include "turbo-chilled reds" and "natty whites." £15 corkage to drink in, or choose from the weekly changing by-the-glass selection. Dog-friendly.
Austrian wine specialists with a dinky courtyard. Focus on sustainable agriculture and small-plot producers. Started with Austrian skin-contact wines (Blaufränkisch) but expanded to European varietals. Regular collabs with chefs and cheesemakers.
A 2000sq ft warehouse bar with polished concrete, tango-colored tables, and a 9-metre antique zinc bar. Now with permanent chef Yuto Fujimoto (ex-Maz Tokyo, Kadeau Copenhagen) serving seasonal European-Japanese plates. Started as a lockdown delivery service.
French for "hiding place"—a restaurant, members' bar, and event space with cellars aging bottles throughout. Michelin-recommended restaurant with winemaker dinners. Members get wine concierge service, monthly corkage allowances, and exclusive access.
Tucked in a railway arch with a sun-trap terrace. The owners tour France annually, bringing back their favorite bottles. Daily-changing list with "zippy pét-nats" and potato pie. A laid-back spot for living out French vineyard fantasies.
A peachy-walled cave à manger from Jimmy Stephenson and Anna Shaffer. Bottle shop by day, wine bar by night with 300+ bottles from crowd-pleasers to "absolute oddities." Spanish bocadillos, Cantabrian anchovies with rose petals, and low lighting.
South London
A true London classic in a railway arch. Part of Gergovie Wines import business. By day it's a shop; by evening a candlelit restaurant with daily-changing seasonal European menus scrawled on blackboards. Only open Wed-Sat. Consistently lovely and unpretentious.
Founded by three mates including former 28-50° sommelier Ben McVeigh. Michelin Bib Gourmand food with a Spanish twist using British produce. Nearly 100 bottles championing organic, sustainable vineyards. Also offers wine subscriptions and regular tastings.
A rooftop perch with panoramic views. Natural wine on tap and by the litre—mainly French and Italian. Perfect for sunset sessions with burrata, 'Nduja mussels, and coffee soft serve. The quintessential Peckham wine experience.
Opened August 2024, this warm yellow-lit spot has become a favorite among natural wine fanatics. Born from their import business, floor-to-ceiling shelves feature bottles from across Europe. Small, house-party vibe with chunky anchovies and topped Basque crisps.
From the Salthouse Bottles team, balancing knowledgeable curation with laid-back fun (there are hula hoops on the snack menu). Focus on lesser-known European regions and London-made vermouths. Small-batch indie spirits and a neighborhood feel.
Housing over 400 approachable natural wines ("clean, only occasionally funky"). Flat corkage fee to drink in. Peckham location has a front patio perfect for sunny days. Crystal Palace outpost brings the same vibe to SE19.
The most comfortable bar in South London, specializing in smaller producers. Staff can tell you as much or as little as you want. Menu features cured meats, sourdough, and cheese—all the wine snack essentials in a relaxed setting.
North London
A perfectly balanced combination of utilitarian and soft edges—candlelit tables, two-tier bar, colorful murals. Concise menu of creative wizardry: oxtail ragout rice, langoustine dolmas, and legendary cheese toasties. Almost entirely organic and biodynamic list.
From the Goodbye Horses team, this bar/bottle shop has an underground vault with space for a dozen covers. Wines displayed ready for takeaway, or order beef tartare on potato pavé, fried Mont d'Or, and chocolate mousse to accompany your bottle.
Vinyl records meet natural wine. Each bottle has a QR code telling the vineyard's story. A laid-back neighborhood hangout with a garden out back. Perfect for pre-match drinks by the Emirates or late-night skin-contact Sauvignon with a curated soundtrack.
Laid-back bottle shops with romantic seating in the back and picnic tables out front. £15 corkage to drink any bottle in-house. Also stocks Neal's Yard cheeses and Pump Street chocolate. Two locations covering Highbury and Stoke Newington.
Central London
Tucked beneath Victorian railway arches, this 150-year-old wine cellar features exposed red brick, worn wooden tables, and moody lighting. Part shop, part bar, part restaurant. Heavy focus on natural, organic, and biodynamic bottles imported directly from small producers.
A tiny central London bolthole with Parisian charm—vintage furnishings, pendant lighting from old wine bottles, crates in corners. 80% of wines from female winemakers with bios of each grower. 15+ by the glass, cheese, charcuterie, and Francophile small plates.
The holy trinity: delicious food, friendly staff, exceptional natural wine. Fresh seasonal continental menu in a cozy, relaxed vibe. Eclectic Euro-centric list with brilliant orange wines and sparkling options beyond Champagne. Small producers and obscure grapes championed.
A wine-focused spin-off from the Spitalfields restaurant, with mauve zig-zag walls and zinc tables. Sommelier Alex Price curates an all-natural list emphasizing French regions plus volcanic wines from Greece and Tenerife. European tapas from Casa Fofò's Fabien Spagnolo.
Known for weekly rotating guest chefs, but the permanent wine bar features whitewashed brick, terrazzo floors, and flattering lighting. 100+ low-intervention bottles with manager Gigi Isola guiding selections. Sharing dishes by Ollie Templeton inspired by past guest chefs.
Low-intervention ethos opposite Borough Market (and a Hackney sibling). Curated by Isabelle Legeron (RAW WINE founder). Fresh produce in dishes matches the fresh approach to wine. The original is a café/wine bar hybrid perfect for market visits.
West London
The holy trinity: coffee, vinyl, and natural wine. Daytime record shopping transforms into evening guest DJs, live gigs, and candlelit wine swilling. West London location plus a North London sibling. Supperclub takeovers and quiz nights where pet-nat is second prize.
Fulham's first (and only) natural wine bar. Sleekly retro aesthetic with hand-picked biodynamic bottles and Italian cheese and charcuterie platters. Plans for supper clubs and tastings. A welcome addition to West London's wine scene.
A "thinking bar" designed to demystify wine. Sunny Hodge's Battersea branch focuses entirely on natural wines—from Welsh to Czech ice wines. Includes Hodge's own Puglian red and white. Bring the bottle back for refills for a tenner.
