Handy for the National History and Victoria & Albert museums. Probably the oldest established tavern in Kensington c1515 as the Grapes, later as the Hoop & Grapes. The present name dates from 1784. The est. c1760 on the pub front is contradicted by the Kensington licensing records. Though rebuilt in 1844, the front was again rebuilt in red brick in 1927.
