Naughty Piglets is an independent Wine bar room in Brixton that still reads as a find — not on the tourist circuit, and the kind of place a local would send you.

Why we recommend

Brixton Water Lane wine room with a rotating chef residency — one of the few London spots where the cooking actually changes with the cook. Neighbourhood, not a concept launch.
