London's urban wineries: East

  • Greater London
  • Day trip
  • All year · Saturdays

Three urban wineries across east London in one Saturday, from lunch at Vagabond's bar in Canada Water to dinner inside Renegade's Walthamstow winery, with nothing to book but the table.

In east London the wine is made where it is poured. Vagabond's bar in Canada Water is built around its own tanks, Numbers works out of a former umbrella factory, and Renegade's winery sits on a Walthamstow industrial estate with a kitchen inside it.

Any Saturday, all year. Numbers is the stop that sets the pace: it shuts mid-afternoon, so the day starts at Vagabond around midday and moves on after lunch. Vagabond and Numbers take walk-ins, so the only booking is a table at Leo for the evening; book it ahead of a Saturday.

The itinerary

1

Vagabond

Greater London

Curator’s comment: Taste the wines at the bar, which sits inside a 100-tonne production space with steel tanks, a concrete egg and a solera. Aim to arrive by 1pm, to leave enough time for Numbers, with potential to have lunch here.

Numbers

Greater London

Curator’s comment: A former umbrella factory in east London, where the cellar door is also a bar until 4pm.

3

Renegade London

Greater London

Curator’s comment: Dinner at Leo, the kitchen inside the winery, with the bar a few metres from the tanks and barrels. Every Renegade label carries the eyes of a different UK resident, from students to retirees. Dinner available from 6.30pm.
