We finished off our day trip to London with a stop off at Vagabond in Charlotte St., it's a wine bar that has a large selection of wines available via an automated dispensing system. The way it works is that you choose your wine and size of glass, then pay for it via a contactless card system, then, the machine dispenses the measure to your glass automatically. It's a neat system enabling you to try lots of different wines without committing yourself and fellow bon viveurs to a whole bottle! Although, it can be quite an expensive session as it's super easy to wander over to the machine and with a quick swipe spend tenner after tenner topping up or trying different blends. I think the trick is that if you find a wine you really like then buy a bottle, it's much cheaper that way.
After some nice pizzas and an interesting cheese board we bid our goodbyes and headed home, luckily the Tottenham Court Road station on the new (very purple!) Elizabeth line is only a short stroll from where my Daughter is staying and is super fast to Paddington and beyond, we left the wine bar at around 8:15 pm and were home and tucked up on the sofa by 9:30 pm, pretty good considering all the trouble on the railways at the moment.
