There is a small car park outside it, which can be quite busy but it is free which is good, if you can get a space. The staff have always been friendly when I have gone in, they are helpful in picking up what you want. If you know someone likes beer but no idea what to get, they are a great help and they do know their stuff when it comes to alcohol. They do have good offers on most of the time so worth checking out before you buy anything.

My husband's favorite haunt for craft beer. He is always stopping by when he's in Kingston. I…read morefinally got the chance to go with him- I'm no much of a beer lady but they do have a few lovely red wines that satisfied me while he carefully selected his craft beer from the choices offered. The barkeeps have been friendly, knowledgeable and amiable. Always ready to chat about the selection of beers and the origins of them. There is indoor and outdoor seating- a lovely vibe in the heart on Kingston. For an American- a rustic bar in an alley is the prime UK experience.

They sell some great beers too - brands you wouldn't be able to find in your supermarket. You can drink your wine there too; on the table and chairs outside. They sell by the glass too. Lovely place this.

They regularly have instore promotions on wines, beers and spirits and the staff are very helpful and friendly. There is a cigarette counter and a good selection of soft drinks aswell.

Overall a great smaller branch of Wine Rack that serves the local community perfectly.

This is on the way from the tube to my friend's house- and I always make a point to stop in and buy some beer. The first time I stopped by I tried some of their samples of vodkas and gins- the samples were very generous pours and I tried some spirits that I had been wanting to try for some time. Overtime I have stopped by I have been greeted with great customer service and friendly people. This is an exception in England- and I really appreciate it. If I lived here, versus sporadically visiting, this would be my liquor store.

They have an excellent and varied tastings events, with an interesting wine club subscription. On top of that is one of the few wine shop were I had my wines recommended by a Master of Wine. They have 2 Masters of Wine working here!! Which is very impresive an remarkable for a relatively small or cousy wine shop. There are 369 MWs in the world, living in 29 countries. Very impressive and recommended.

Handford wines is a nice little wine shop in South kensington. I mainly ended up going here because…read moreI was at the Sampler. If I am not mistaken the shop occupies the space once occupied by wine merchant La Vigneronne. It is a short walk from South Kensington tube on the slightly charmless Old Brompton Road. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and happy to chat about wine. I had the pleasure of trying some interesting Canadian (!) wine from the Niagara Falls region that they were sampling. It was perhaps not the greatest wine I had but always nice to try. I also highlights the depth of the selection they carry. The South African wines are numerous and a lot that one cannot find in other places so good to explore new areas of South Africa. There is also a very good selection of French wines and interesting stuff from Portugal and Spain. The prices are decent but the 'cheaper' bottles do in general seem to be worse value then when looking at £15 and higher. A nice place but not worth a trip in itself unless you are on the look out for South African wines,

Wine World is a convenient (for me) little off-licence perched on the corner of Spencer Road and St…read moreJohn's Hill. The focus is very much on wine although there is a small selection of beer (mainly mainstream labels) and spirits (a bit more interesting). The wine selection features a few interesting bottles (especially from New Zealand) but is generally fairly humdrum with lots of large scale producers to the fore. Consequently, Wine World would not be where I would head for a special bottle and I mainly find myself popping in here to grab something when all other options have been exhausted!

Inside, it will likely be crowded but staff are good at getting people beers quickly. I loved that this stop had a foosball table and stickers for the taking. This place doesn't take itself too seriously - their slogan is "Drink Moor Beer", and you should probably take them up on that. Definitely a fun stop on the mile!

The places get crowded easily, and people have to be squeezed together while having a beer. Moor Co seem to have a larger internal and external area, and there is a food stand outside selling Scotch eggs. I tried the Radiance, a Hoppy Blonde beer, and it was excellent.
