Kensington / Chelsea, London –
The Anglesea Arms is a country-style pub that attracts a young international clientele with seasonal eats, craft ales, and prices a bit friendlier to the wallet than the average watering hole in this part of town.
A tree-lined patio at the entrance gets busy early on warm weather afternoons, and stays that way as groups of friends with their dogs in tow carouse and swill ciders in the sun.
The vibe switches tempo inside, where dark green lights reminiscent of a snooker room hang over the cozy two-fers, and larger group tables spread across the faded oak floor. There’s no pumping soundtrack, the TVs are off unless a big game is on, and the British fusion grub – everything from pan-fried plaice to hearty rib eye – is refined enough to attract foodies, but still offers plenty of options for the less adventurous diner.
A naturally lit room beyond the bar is home to glistening antique tables that host an older crowd in the mood for more elegant dining, while most of the younger pre-gamers stick to the front when they crowd in on weekends to talk, flirt, and try the latest beers from the six hand pumps.
The Anglesea Arms manages to pull off an atmosphere that’s the perfect mix of casual and refined, making it ideal for a peaceful meal, a little fun in the sun, or a festive social gathering to kick off the night.
Moneyed but unpretentious locals, weary urbanites looking to recharge with some country pub atmosphere, groups of friends enjoying some sun, craft beer lovers, older families, mid-20s to late 30s+.
Pair of TVs tuned to a game or turned off. Free Wi-Fi.
British fusion menu including seasonally changing fare such as char-grilled salmon, cider-braised rabbit, rib-eye steak, and traditional fish and chips on Fridays. Sunday Roast 12:30–3:30pm. Dog friendly on the patio. Available for private rental.
Starters £5.50–£7, entrées £12–£19, desserts £5.50–£6. Roast £12–£16. Beer £4+, wine £4–£9/glass or £16.50–£26+/bottle, rum, whiskey, and other spirits £4+.
Casual to smart casual: traditional office wear, relaxed shirts, shorts, chinos, summery dresses.
Sunny days to savor several pints on the patio, or Thursday through Saturday nights to pre-game with a big, friendly crowd of punters.
Zetland Arms (2 Bute Street) is a corner boozer just steps away from Royal Albert Hall and located in one of the area’s oldest buildings. Charlie Chaplin was allegedly a regular.
