| Wine bar near [[Crofton Park Station]]. It was previously a wine and beer shop as well, but for [http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/not-so-merry-christmas-mr-lawrence-to.html various reasons] that side of the business [https://twitter.com/MrLawrenceWM/status/295281504907579393 closed on 26 January 2013], with sales continuing online only. |

The wine bar remained open, though in early 2014 it [http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/inside-mr-lawrence.html moved into the space previously occupied by the shop]. Our comments on the now-closed beer/wine shop are below. We haven't visited the wine bar yet. <div class="old_info"> |

The wine section at the back is just as impressive in its range, and is organised by country. They have a particularly extensive selection of wines from Chateau Musar in Lebanon (with vintages going back into the 80s, at increasing prices, obviously). On [[Ewan]]'s February 2008 visit, the proprietor was very friendly and eager to show off his wines, which he notes are sourced from smaller producers. The shop itself imports a number of the wines it sells. Apart from good stocks of new world wines, and the major producers (France, Spain, Italy), there is also a good range of German and Austrian wines. There are even a few English wines (the Chapel Down wines, as well as Nyetimber sparkling). |
(I didn't check out the wine section - at the back of the shop - nor the wine bar itself.) |

Aside from the wines, the shop also has a good range of spirits available behind the counter. Again, the focus is on smaller independent producers, with a particularly fine range of cognacs (Maxime Trijol is the favoured label) and armagnacs, including some more expensive vintages. The proprietor was keen to mention his range of ports, which I didn't get a chance to look at. |

Wine bar and wine/beer shop near Crofton Park Station.
The beer shop is truly excellent. A huge range of interesting bottled beers, both British and Belgian, and the stock is changing all the time. They also sell real cider from a small producer. Kake visited in February 2008 and met one of the proprietors, a very knowledgeable and helpful lady who took me through a good proportion of the stock giving me background on the different breweries and producers. I bought as much beer as I could carry and plan to return for more.
