Mr Lawrence

I love mr Lawrence. It’s my favourite place to drink in SE4. Peaceful and unpretentious, with a fantastic selection of wines and beers. There’s even a small outside space for smokers and sunworshippers. Highly recommended.

The selection of wine is just amazing. Thanks to mr lawrances hard work and keen taste buds your sure to find a fantastic glass or two. Try the plater very generous. also a great
hire out for partys.

An absolutely superb local off-​license with a decent selection of spirits (good gin is vital), an excellent selection of wines (with very sound recommendations) and a genuinely storming selection of bottled beers from both local, national, and international brewers. If any locals are buying beer anywhere else then they’re missing out.

This wine bar is a total gem. The dark, wood-​panelled walls, twinkly fairy lights in the windows and rustic décor help to create a laid-​back and charming atmosphere. The wine list is massive, and you can indeed order loads of them by the glass.
The choice of food isn’t huge, but what they do, they do well. The duck and chorizo cassoulet was hearty and delicious, and they also serve a range of charcuterie platters, all served with a generous basket of fresh, varied bread.
You could happily spend hours in Mr Lawrence, and I’m sure I’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future to do just that.

A little gem of a place I only noticed a few weeks ago! I work for a group of winebars in London and I could have sworn it was a copy of them — but nevertheless it is a great place. An amazing wine list (I have to admit I was dubious when I first saw how many they offered by the glass so chose something random expecting to say they didn’t have it — Huh!) and a really nice selection of bar snacks. Great wine shop next door as well (although you have to ask nicely to go ‘through the cage!)

A really great local wine bar, this has long been raising Crofton Park’s standards. We’re often overshadowed by Brockley but Mr Lawrence himself has ensured we remain firmly on the map. THe bar is next door to the wineshop of the same name; must admit I use the shop a lot more nowadays; before the smoking ban you had to be really hardcore to endure a night in the bar; even the staff smoked and you could cut through it with a knife. Of course it’s all different now, and althoughthe menu has changed to just bar snacks, it’s still a great place to meet especially in the winter — its characterful old wood tables and benches and wood panelling all lend a slightly dishevelled, Dickensian air. Wine is great and unusually most varieities can be ordered by the glass. A great place to start your evening out in SE4.
