Our recent visit to Gordon's Wine Bar on a quiet Wednesday afternoon was an absolute delight. With no wait in sight, we found ourselves nestled in the back, surrounded by the enchanting ambiance of what must have been an old wine cellar, steeped in history.

As one of the oldest wine bars in London, Gordon's exudes a timeless charm that harks back to its inception in 1890. Situated near Embankment Tube station, it occupies a charming Victorian building and is renowned for its cozy and atmospheric cellar setting.

The wine and cheese selection at Gordon's is nothing short of spectacular, catering to every palate and preference. While the service was a tad slow, it didn't detract from the overall experience. We were promptly greeted upon arrival, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable outing.

What truly stole our hearts was the ambiance – the dimly lit cave-like setting exuded an undeniable charm, transporting us to a bygone era of London's rich history. Paired with the extensive selection of wines, it made for an unforgettable experience.

In summary, Gordon's Wine Bar earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars in our book. We're already dreaming of our next visit to London, where Gordon's will undoubtedly be at the top of our list for a return excursion. Cheers to Gordon's Wine Bar – a true gem in the heart of London's...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Gordon’s Wine Bar: A Hidden Gem of Candlelit Charm & Incredible Cheese

Gordon’s Wine Bar - the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a secret slice of old-world romance in the heart of London.

It’s been a firm favourite for a while, and for good reason. On a sunny weekend, there’s nothing better than sitting on the shaded terrace, sipping fantastic wine, and indulging in a generous cheese board (because wine without cheese is just a missed opportunity). But as the sun sets, the real magic happens, you move inside to the candlelit cellar, a dark, intimate, and almost otherworldly space that feels straight out of a novel.

The service? Exceptional. The food? Delicious and served in proper portions. And the selection of wine and cheese? Easily one of the best in London, perfect for those who appreciate a seriously good pairing.

It’s dark, it’s atmospheric, and it’s hidden away beneath what looks like an abandoned pub front - blink, and you’ll miss the steps leading down to this treasure trove of rustic, romantic charm.

Would I recommend? Without hesitation. Whether for date night, a catch-up with friends, or just a beautifully moody escape from the city, Gordon’s never...

I’ve always been an observer, but I’ve found a certain power in transforming myself into the subject. In looking at a scene from a distance and instead of shying away, placing myself directly into its center. Whether it be through photos or video, I’ve found a way to balance being both observer and subject and it never ceases to thrill me when the final outcome is just what I imagined. This was a moment that Eric and I both waited for, a brief moment in time where the light was just right, we had a clear shot, and I was able to simply step into a little scene we had spotted. This particular location is Gordon’s Wine Bar in London, a beautiful underground space thought to be London’s oldest wine bar. It’s a place of low ceilings and flickering candlelight, quiet conversations at one table, laughter at another, all punctuated with the sound of glasses clinking. A truly magical spot that I cannot recommend enough should you find yourself in London.
