Independent neighbourhood bars
& restaurants

Unique spaces which feel like private addresses. Darwin & Wallace bring hand-picked (sometimes hand-made) style; inspiring all-day food; delightful drinks from morning coffee to nightcaps (and everything in between); spaces that feel home-from-home.

In a city celebrated for its design and food, it’s odd how many pubs feel formulaic. Frustrated with the abundance of mediocre, identikit “Gastropubs”, Darwin & Wallace founder Mel Marriott wanted to turn unloved and underperforming sites into brilliant local bars.

Darwin & Wallace make a positive contribution to London’s villages – beyond delicious food and drink in beautiful bars
