Tucked away in an achingly picturesque cobbled mews only a short step from the Albert Hall, Hyde Park and the Kensington museums, this friendly and cheerful pub with its distinctive rounded entrance, cream coloured walls and old wood panelling fits in perfectly with its surroundings. This is a seriously desirable part of town but not all the regulars are well heeled locals – students from Imperial College, concertgoers and more adventurous tourists pop by to enjoy an excellent lineup of cask ales that might include choices from Ilkley, Hawkshead, Kelham Island or Purity besides regulars London Pride and Doom Bar. Budweiser Budvar, Franziskaner wheat beer and Meantime London Pale are among the keg choices with Duvel and Worthington White Shield in bottles. One of the better pubs in a generally reliable chain.
