Natural wine in London
The short answer: The best-proven natural-wine bars in London are Hector's (Mildmay Park), Unwined in Waterloo (Waterloo) and The 10 Cases (Seven Dials). Each names natural producers on its own wine list, which we read and matched against known natural winemakers. We rank by strength of proof, not popularity, and last checked on 2026-10-03.
isitfunky lists 56 places in London with proof on file that they pour natural wine: 25 wine bars, 17 bottle shops, 11 restaurants and 3 bars. The neighbourhoods with the most proven bars, restaurants and cafés are Southwark (5), Soho (3) and Dalston (2).

How we prove a place
A place counts only when there is evidence on file that it pours natural wine: its own website says so, its wine list names natural producers we recognise, a named publication calls it a natural-wine venue, or natural-wine importers list it as a stockist. Each one shows its reasons, its source and the date we last checked. Venues cannot pay to be listed or ranked. The stamps
