Willy's Wine Bar

Dark wood, subtle lighting and acres of exposed brick create a familiar and laid-back vibe at this basement bar close to Fenchurch Street station. Aside from a buzzy atmosphere full of City suits and Square Milers, you can expect to find a menu which champions the best-of-British ingredients with classic dishes, while the lighter bar menu features snacks, sandwiches and burgers.

Drinks wise, you’ll find a dependable, carefully annotated European wine list with occasional international flourishes. Naturally, beers are also available, as is a selection of classic cocktails, including Negronis and Espresso Martinis, all at fair prices.
