A neighbourhood guide
West London benefits from a strong sense of local community, its character is defined as much by its hospitality as its architecture. Beyond the garden squares and stucco terraces sits a collection of intimate restaurants, cafes, pubs, including wine bars.
At Interlet, we spend a great deal of time in the neighbourhoods we represent. We’ve put together a list of wine bars that we consistently recommend to friends, clients, and anyone looking to experience West London at its most authentic.
A compact candle-lit bar just moments from Notting Hill, Sol’s has quickly become a favourite among locals. The space is intentionally simple, warm lighting, a concise list and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages lingering.
The focus here is carefully selected small-producer wines, with staff guiding guests toward something suited to the evening rather than overwhelming them with choice.
Located along one of West London’s most characterful streets, Frankie’s reflects Golborne Road itself: welcoming, social and effortlessly stylish.
The bar works closely with independent vineyards and rotates bottles regularly, creating a place regulars return to week after week. It operates very much as a neighbourhood living room, informal yet thoughtfully curated.
Part wine bar, part bottle shop, Drop offers flexibility that suits modern London living. Guests can enjoy a glass, share a carafe or bottle, or select one to take home.
The list balances accessible classics with more distinctive finds, accompanied by cheese and small plates. Its relaxed environment makes it a reliable early-evening destination in Kensington.
Cobalto provides a more understated experience, centred around Italian wines from smaller organic and biodynamic producers. The approach is simple: well-sourced bottles, knowledgeable guidance and an unpretentious setting.
Popular with residents rather than passing crowds, it represents the quieter side of Fulham’s hospitality scene.
Living locally
One of the defining features of West London is the ability to walk from home to places you genuinely enjoy returning to. Our selection of wine bars are independent, friendly and each have their own style with a variety of wines and small plates to please everyone.
