Bermondsey Corner

You'll find yourself on one of SE1's best strips, surrounded by the kind of neighbourhood that's managed to stay proper rather than become a parody of itself. Bermondsey Corner does wine without the pretension or the eye-watering markups—the sort of place where you can ask for a recommendation and get a genuine answer, not a sales pitch. The vibe is unfussy: good natural wines, European small plates, the kind of crowd that comes for the drink rather than the Instagram moment. It's become exactly what that stretch of Bermondsey Street needed.
