Berry Bros& Rudd

Berry Bros & Rudd has traded wine from 3 St James's Street since 1698 — Britain's oldest wine merchant, still run by descendants of the Berry and Rudd families, in a shop of sloping floors and centuries of ledgers behind the famous coffee-mill sign. It has held a Royal Warrant since George III and remains wholly family-owned, however far it has since reached. The St James's shop is a piece of living history you can walk into and buy from. Go for the sense of the place; stay for a bottle chosen by people who have done this for three hundred years.
