Riverside gem Two More Years is a natural wine bar in Hackney. They've got every variation on tap (including orange, of course), and with terrace parties every Saturday come summer and local DJs elevating the vibes on Friday nights, be careful not to spill your drink on your way to the dance floor.
Boasting bottles from all over the world, with some that can only be found at this particular restaurant, ArrosQD has the perfect wine pairing for every one of its incredible dishes. The menu features a host of Mediterranean twists on Spanish plates, including extravagant wood-fired paellas topped with everything from lobster to tomahawk steak.
Residents of Elephant and Castle are lucky to have their wine needs met by award-winning hideaway Diogenes the Dog (and you can't really not allow pups on the premises with a name like that...). Bring your friends, four-legged or otherwise, to this dream destination for wine-lovers who also adore cheese and meat platters or pretty interiors.
If there happens to be an even split of vino and cocktail-drinkers in your friend group, Franklin's Wine has got everyone's needs covered. This classy joint is led by a talented team of sommeliers and mixologists eager to bring you your favourite drink.
Take your mates orange wine tasting in London with a trip to Vagabond. The best part? These wineries have machines that dispense your drink with the tap of a card. From a flagship site in Fulham to a coveted spot at the famous Battersea Power Station, a sip is never too far away.
One of those days where you can't quite face the commute home without some boozy reinforcements? Luckily The Refinery has a plush seat and a glass of red (or orange) with your name on it.

With a menu full of mouthwatering dishes - from katsu sandos to prawn crackers - 68 Shanghai offers a delicious feast for all.
Its wine list is next level though, with a healthy selection of orange tipples like a Finca Manzanos rioja Rosada which is very crisp to drink.
Looking for a natural wine bar in South London? If you've found yourself at Aspen and Meursault, you're most certainly in the right place.

Been to Shoreditch recently? You may have passed one of the best natural wine bars in London without even noticing. Oranj's discreet entrance opens up to a world of quirky bottles, delectable small plates and unparalleled vibes thanks to the neon lighting and DJ sets.
