Tucked away on the approach to Embankment Tube station it can easily be missed. Mainly because it looks more like a brothel entrance than a wine bar! (not that i have been to many brothel entrances in London and also who calls them brothels anymore, how very medieval of me)
A narrow and steep staircase is taken to the cellar, the <3 of the wine bar. Directly in front of you are giant blocks of all kinds of cheeses in a long refrigerator. Turn left and you find the bar with plenty of barrels of wine stocked behind it. If you turn right there are plenty of cozy candlelit tables. Gordon's is always packed and you will be lucky to get a table. However there is a great outdoor space that has plenty of tables too.
On to more import matters. THE CHEESE - ill tell you what cheese lovers this place delves out the biggest portions at the best prices. I highly recommend old favourites such as Brie, Camembert and a nice strong cheddar. Instead of biscuits you are give crusty hot baguettes with lashings of pickles, chutney, mini gherkins and cranberry sauce. Its just fanbloodytastic. AND its 7 quid! bargainess.

Gordon's is is great place to meet friends (done - got hammered) , go on a date (done - got hammered) or even take the folks (done - got hammered). I have ambled along with my dad before and had a whale of a time. My dad couldn't even finish the cheese for Christ sake! Appalling behaviour.
