Gordon's is a London institution, perfect for a glass of wine at any time of day. You can sit outside or in the quirky subterranean bar itself. On a recent visit, it was packed with guidebook-carrying tourists, glammed up groups of ladies, and couples splitting a bottle together. Chairs are prime real estate at busy times! It smells like damp and French cheese, but this doesn't seem to bother anyone. We haven't eaten there but the cheese and charcuterie plates seem popular. It's not perfect but if you like wine, you should visit it at least once.

Great find!

It was recommended to me by a friend and absolutely worth the visit. So much character and charm with a great wine list. If you have not already been you really should make the effort to check this one out.

Best drunk outside with friends. Good wines, efficient service and happy to say lots of brollies outside.

Good if pricey wine and pleasant service at Gordon's. Great location and outside terraced area. Would advise getting there early if a seat or table is required. Don't come along too late on a sunny day and huff and puff in front of others. Food is perfectly good if you follow my advice: a policy of cheese, cold meats and pate is the way forward. More elaborate meals are served canteen-style from heated containers and are liable to disappoint.

Gourmet Chick - 7/10

Thursday, April 28, 2011 - The wine list has a host of options by the glass or by the bottle and there are also serious barrels of port behind the bar. We chose a bottle of Chianti and the cheese board was an incredibly barginous 11.25 for a choice of three cheeses, bread, pickled onions and cornichons. You just specify to the bar staff whether you want hard cheese, blue cheese, cheddar etc. There are also some hot food options and other goodies like pork pies and scotch eggs...Gordon's can get incredibly hot and packed and probably has serious health and safety issues with those low ceilings and lack of exits. It is great fun though and I can't believe I waited so long to try it out.
