About the shop
Lower Clapton's bottle shop
Vintage Bottle sits on the corner of Chatsworth Road in Lower Clapton, on one of East London's best-loved independent shopping streets. Behind the lit sign is a bigger shop than you'd expect: a wall of wine, a full off-licence and the everyday bits a neighbourhood runs on.
It's the kind of place you can pop into for a bottle for dinner, a cold four-pack, a hard-to-find German lager or a gift for someone, and still get a proper hello at the counter, from 8 in the morning until late.
