The Best Wine Bars in London

Two former railway arches in Haggerston have been turned into a wine-focused restaurant with cobalt blue walls, a communal table at its center, and a surprising amount of natural light for a space that technically lives underground. Membership gets you wine storage and priority reservations, but the 60-cover room is open to everyone. The modern British menu is short and deceptively simple, with small-producer, low-intervention bottles doing a lot of the talking.

The separate entrance off Old Park Lane is a small but telling detail: this Michelin-starred wine bar and restaurant from the Trivet team is doing its own thing inside the COMO Metropolitan. The menu roams freely, from snacks to pâté en croûte to dishes pulled off the fire, without much interest in being categorized. The global wine list is long and the staff actually know it, which in Mayfair counts as a personality.

Sune (rhymes with "sooner," which is worth knowing before you ask) feels like a wine bar that quietly decided it wanted to be a neighborhood restaurant when it grew up. Around 14 sharing plates rotate on a fluid menu, built on simple pairings that don't crowd each other out. The room is small, the service is warm, and the kitchen in Hackney is the kind that makes restraint look like a gift.
