A popular wine bar has reopened with a new look after an extensive refurbishment.

Vagabond Battersea, located in the heart of Battersea Power Station’s food and drink scene, has been transformed to offer an even more immersive experience for wine lovers.

The wine bar, known for its self-pour wine machines with more than 100 wines from around the world, now boasts modern interiors, cosy corners, and tasting tables.

The Urban Winery has been removed from the Battersea location and will relocate to a new site in London later this year.

The updated food menu features new items such as a Spanish tortilla with seasonal vegetables, Scottish mussels in Vagabond’s signature white wine sauce, and an aubergine parmigiana.

Vagabond favourites like the cheese and charcuterie board, hanger steak, and Swiss cheese fondue remain on the menu.

Christobell Giles, Managing Director at Vagabond, said: "The refurbishment of Vagabond Battersea is an exciting milestone for us.

"We wanted to create a space that truly reflects the passion and innovation that Vagabond is known for, while staying true to the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that our guests love.

"Since first opening its doors, Vagabond Battersea has become a go-to destination for wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike and with this refresh, the venue continues to celebrate the art of wine discovery.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming both loyal guests and new visitors to experience the rejuvenated space and raise a glass to this exciting new chapter."

The investment in the Battersea Power Station site is part of Vagabond’s growth plans under new owner Majestic.
