Time Out

Tiles has been around for more than 20 years and still regularly packs them in most nights of the week.

Loyal groupies divide themselves between the cosy Mediterranean-style ground-floor bar with its attractive tiled walls, small clothed tables and distracting outlook on to the busy streets of Victoria, and the funky basement lounge bar with its ambient lighting, squashy sofas, coffee tables and jazzy vibes.

A decent choice of quafhng wines is accompanied by several more complex and pricier food wines.

All are flagged up by easy-to-understand grape varieties.

There’s a mouth-watering, wine-absorbing snack menu.
