To help you make the most of your time at WSET School London, we’re delighted to be working with our industry partners and neighbours to offer you a carefully selected range of exclusive discounts.
A few things to think about before using your card:
- Keep it safe - we can replace a damaged card but we may not be able to replace a lost or stolen card
- Check this page regularly to make you have the most up-to-date discount information
- Check the 'valid until' date on your card hasn't passed before attempting to claim the below discounts - they're time sensitive
Here’s an overview of what’s currently on offer!
Local food and drink
We’re very lucky to be located in one of the most exciting areas in London for quality, independent food and drink. You have plenty of choice when deciding where to go for lunch, or where to enjoy a glass of something after class.
A selection of local bars, cafes and restaurants within a short walk of the School offer exclusive discounts when you wave your Student Deals Card.
Below we've detailed the discounts available, and offered a recommendation from our team to get you started if you're not sure what to go for.

BOB’s Lobster Wine Bar & Kitchen serves surf & turf indulgences alongside great wines and cocktails.
We love: their lobster roll on brioche - an indulgent lunch or a great post-exam treat.
10% off food and wine at B Street Deli
B Street Deli is a high-end delicatessen and wine bar selling a great selection of sensational salads, gourmet sandwiches and soups as well as cheese and charcuterie platters.
We love: their huge focaccia sandwiches and salted caramel brownies.

20% off food and drink at The Hide before 7pm
The Hide, located directly below WSET School London, is a regular haunt of WSET students and staff alike. We’ve worked closely with The Hide for the last 12 years and they are always delighted to welcome any of our students from midday for lunch, coffee, or after-class drinks. Since 2017 they have exclusively been serving drinks that are brewed, fermented or distilled in London.
We love: a fresh London-brewed craft beer after a long day of wine tasting.

20% off tours of the Bermondsey Distillery (Jensen's Gin)
Plus 10% off bottle sales
When Christian Jensen first tasted the vintage gins from London's 'lost distilleries', he began a journey. Creating a finely balanced gin that honoured these forgotten recipes became his obsession. Distilled in small batches at their Bermondsey Distillery, Jensen's is gin as it was and as it should be. This is one of our most successful local distilleries and we highly recommend a tour and a taste of their gins.
