Located a few blocks away from the Kensington high Street, this beautiful classical is in a quiet residential neighborhood. So although there is outside seating, there it's no drinking allowed outside after 10pm.
It was quite busy when I was there. I did not try any food, but they had a great selection of English and imported draught beers.
The staff were very friendly.
Great neighborhood pub! Fantastic fish and chips! Wonderful atmosphere - highly recommend.
Great place to pop in with friends for a drink and pub food. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is great.
Loved my visit to this warm and friendly pub. Enjoyed my lunch with glass of prosecco and lovely buzzing atmosphere around me. Best way to finish my English holiday.

🏛 Traditional corner pub in the black and gold Nicholsons style. The outdoor seating is a bonus. Indoors is equally welcoming with the main drinking area in front of the bar. There's a snug behind the bar which has one table and a couple of stools looking into the bar.
🍺 Decent, nothing too adventurous. Anywhere that has @timothytaylorsbrewery on tap is alright with me.
ℹ️ The pub's website says it is a favourite among journalists. The former Daily Mail offices are not too far away so it's just possible.
🙋♂️ My view: great little pub, very cosy, love it.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming-I’d booked a table for three but two of one my guests were late but they were very understanding and held the table until I arrived. The team were very active on a busy night-monsoon rain! and really helped create the buzz in the pub-great team
This pub is a hidden gem that captures the true essence of a small, neighborhood pub. With its cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delightful offerings, this place has quickly become my favorite local haunt. The pub's intimate size creates a warm and inviting ambiance that feels like stepping into a friend's living room. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home. The selection of drinks, from ales to spirits, is impressive and caters to all tastes. The pub also serves delicious pub fare that perfectly complements the beverages. Whether you're looking for a quiet drink or a place to catch up with friends, The Elephant and Castle Pub is the perfect spot. I highly recommend it for an authentic neighborhood pub experience.
Lucky enough to come across a nice little pub with great selection of beers and great quality dining as well. Not to mention top-notch service that came along with it.
Pretty rare to find gems like this in modern day London. Definitely worth another visit next time.
A lovely quaint little hostelry tucked away in the heart of Kensington. Good beer, both cask and keg. Polite attentive staff and a good beer, what more does a visitor want?

The Elephant & Castle is located in a quiet side street not far from Kensington High Street. The nearest tube is High St Ken which is just a few minutes walk away. Be sure to walk up atmospheric Kensington Church Walk to get here, you won’t be disappointed.
.
Not be confused with The Elephant & Castle in SE1, this Elephant & Castle pub is in Kensington. It occupies a corner plot amongst the cute independent shops and upscale properties that surround it.
.
Inside it’s a warm and cosy affair, this pub has a local village pub feel to it. The walls are clad in dark wood panelling which have pictures and photos of local history. The seating is made up of sumptuous sofas and benches which make for a comfortable stay. The bar is centrally located with a couple of columns in front to perch your elbow on, at the back of the pub is an intimate snug with a few stools overlooking the bar.
.
This is a @nicholsonspubs pub, so you know the beer line up will have something you fancy on it. I opted for a Pravha, my pint was decent and just over average price. The food menu is traditional pub grub with an emphasis on hearty pies, fish & chips costs £17.50. The service here was spot on, the pub was busy and the staff coped admirably and did so with a smile.
.
The atmosphere here was great, the pub was busy inside and out, there was a upbeat buzz all around. If you have a strong quiz game, why not visit on a Tuesday to try and secure a £40 bar tab.

The @elephantandcastle_kensington is a superb pub with a warm and cosy feel. This pub is a perfect place to visit whatever the occasion. If you’re ever visiting the area, make sure you check this pub out, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful bar. I ate the fish and chips, it was good but not incredible. Full beer menu, i enjoyed my experience here.
5th trip from US to London and the 4th to The Elephant and Castle. Sometimes you find a place far away from home that you feel just suits you. This is one of ours...friendly staff and terrific atmosphere. Always will hope to return.
Cute pub away from the bustle of High Street Kensington. Nice atmosphere and tasty foods.
Proper old school pub. Doesn't mess around trying to be a restaurant/creche/after school club, etc. Good beer, great gin selection, friendly staff, good food. Nice place for adults to come for some peace and a nice chat and drink without screaming toddlers running amoc! Please never change, you are a rare island in a sea of hybrid wannabe pubs!
A lovely pub. Always good beers and food, good service, ambience. And outside tables. Official Food Hygiene Regulations - Scores On The Doors - this great pub scores 5 out of 5 - and with an elite award for 3 consecutive to awards of 5 - awarded by The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Congratulations. Close to Holland Park, and Holland Park Opera.
Delicious vegan lentil cottage pie!

Excellent spot for drinks! The atmosphere is very inviting, and the bar tenders are very cool! Go!!!
Very nice pub with great personnel, good food and normal prices. I like that the neighborhood is quiet and very charming.
This is my local pub! 3 minutes down the road and I’m so happy about that because it’s great! A quaint place with solid drinks. They changed their staff a few years ago. There’s one bartender who is always there and is friendly and attentive. The food is also great - their pies and fish&chips are excellent. Just be weary their kitchen does shut early most evenings.
