    Lovely self service wine bar! It was a very fun experience with a great selection of wines to choose from. The wines are on the pricier side. There’s a tiny bit of outdoor seating at this branch which looks out onto the Battersea Station. Ordered the Hanger steak sharing plate which was delicious, accompanied with lovely dips and also parsnip chips!

    Vagabond wine bar and restaurant what a unique experience in sampling a wide range wines from all over the world (all be it at a small cost) before deciding what like the best. Food and service were second to none. Manager Ben was knowledgable and very helpful and accommodating. He explained how things worked. We throughly enjoyed this very quirky experience. We will definitely go there again. Marshal

    Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!! Vagabond wines was at the top of my list of things to do when I got to London. I went last night - and it did not disappoint!! Jessie, gave us the warmest welcome - found us a table and showed us how it all worked. The food was delicious (we had the mushroom croquettes and hummus) - the selection of wines was mind-blowing!! Vagabond is definitely my idea of heaven on earth:)

    Fun atmosphere, service was hit and miss though. I do like the concept though I noted that some of the wines had been marked up more than expected and I'm sure the first time I visited a Vagabond (not this location) the standard glass size was 175ml - it seems to have shrunk to 125ml.
