Dating from 1859, a lovely corner mews pub that is well worth seeking out for its cask ales and its large range of interesting bottled beers, craft beers and lagers, malt whiskies and other spirits. Note the very unusual curved doors. The L-shaped room features wood floors and panelling. The clientele tends to reflect the location: well-heeled locals, students from Imperial College and musicians from, and visitors to, the nearby Royal Albert Hall. There are few tourists as the pub is off the beaten track. The food menu and specials are of superior quality and the pub is very much food-led. You may well find that at lunchtime and early evening the tables are all laid out for diners, so be warned you may have to stand! Six handpumps generally have at least four ales plus a cider or two.
