Not a pub, we know, but a wine bar with more charm and atmosphere than many of London's boozers (particularly those nearby); Gordon's is one of the most idiosyncratic drinking holes in town, its darkened alcoves a world away from your average pub interior. Yellowing newspapers from yesteryear adorn the walls, and candles plugged into dusty wine bottles provide the illumination. If Miss Haversham was in the licensing trade, this could have been the result. As for the choice of drinks, a wide range of both old and new world wines are available, though port or sherry (decanted from barrels above the bar) often feels the most appropriate tipple. Given the proximity to Trafalgar Square, it's no wonder the place is sometimes standing room only (hence only a three pint rating). So it's worth visiting at a quieter hour at the weekend to get a bit more space. Either that or get off work early and nab a table. Though take care entering from the side entrance - one false step and you'll be head first into the salad bar.
