London Cru

London's burgeoning interest in urban horticulturalism, from rooftop apiaries to intercity vineyards, is a sign of the city's collective fingers getting greener. Officially the city’s first winery, London Cru opened its vintnering doors last year in West Brompton.

Cliff Roberson – founder of Roberson Wine – and investor Will Tomlinson are backing the venture, while Roberson Wine’s senior buyer, Mark Andrew, and London Cru’s winemaker, Gavin Monery, are personally sourcing and selecting the best grapes from esteemed vineyards in Bordeaux, Languedoc and the Roussillon.

Take a look inside London Cru and see how they are revolutionising London's wine scene.
