    El Vinos: Legendary lawyers' and journalists' wine bar

    El Vinos

    El Vino's has been reddening the noses of newspaper hacks and Queen's Counsel for as long as anybody can remember. Horace Rumpole dropped in here for a glass of Chateau Thames Embankment (though he called it "Pommeroys"), after a hard day in the cells under the Old Bailey.

    Most notorious for its long and bitter campaign to maintain the refusal of service to women. I note the place for historical and literary reasons, not for any great affection for it. Still, it's full of atmosphere.
