Ask “where can I drink Champagne near me?” anywhere in central London and you’ll be spoilt for choice. Britain has long been Champagne’s most devoted market outside France, and nowhere shows it better than the capital – a city where a glass of bubbles is woven into everything from grand hotels to tiny neighbourhood wine bars.
A capital that loves its bubbles
London’s relationship with Champagne goes back centuries, and it still runs deep. In Mayfair and the West End you’ll find opulent bars and landmark restaurants with cellars to rival anywhere in the world. Head to Soho, Shoreditch or Borough and the mood turns relaxed – characterful wine bars pouring grower Champagnes by the glass to a curious, in-the-know crowd.
A great champagne bar for every occasion
That range is London’s real strength. A great champagne bar here might be a hushed, wood-panelled room off Piccadilly one night and a buzzy little counter in Bermondsey the next. Oysters and Champagne, a celebratory magnum, or simply a quiet coupe after work – the city takes it all in its stride.
