Rise & Vine

"Borough Wines, Kensal Queens Park. Although Kensal rise was Borough Wine’s fifth store to open since it began as a small stall in Borough Market, the West London shop still maintains its strong independent feel, retaining the company spirit of being close to the local community and supporting independent vineyards and micro breweries. They offer a refillable wine station as well as various tasting and master class events."
