The classic pub is a quintessential neighborhood hangout with a laid-back vibe and a bustling crowd. The bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive, and the selection of beers and spirits is impressive. The menu offers classic pub fare, including juicy burgers and crispy fish and chips, which are cooked to perfection. The cozy interior is filled with wooden furnishings and dim lighting, making it the perfect place to unwind after a long day. Whether you're looking for a night out with friends or a casual date spot, this classic pub is a must-visit.
Traditional English pub opposite Gloucester Road tube station. Inside and outside seating. Nice selection of beers. Gastro pub style menu. Reasonably priced fir such a high profile area. Staff were all pleasant and polite. Quite busy during my visit, so another bar person would have improved service times. Good choice menu. Nice atmosphere. Large TV screens showing sports. I had the fish & chips which I enjoyed. I will return soon.

The Stanhope Arms is located at the end of a Victorian terrace in plush South Kensington. Gloucester Road Tube station with its beautifully oxblood tiled exterior is just across the road.

This pub was built in 1869 and is named after local landowners The Stanhopes (The Earls of Harrington). There are streets, mews and gardens close by which all bear their name.

This is a traditionally decorated pub that is set out in an “L” shape. There is plenty of seating available which consists of low level tables and chairs, compacted together poser tables, plus one comfy banquette on the right hand side of the bar. This Greene King pub is bright and airy and has some Greene King uniformity around the walls. The star of the show is the stunning ornate back bar with its carved top and etched glass.

The beer selection was good, there were lots of familiar brands and one cask ale on at the time. I had a pint of Estrella, my pint was great and a little over average price. There is a traditional pub grub menu, Fish & Chips costs £15.29.
.
I arrived around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and the pub was busy with a mix of older locals, day trippers and tourists from across the pond. There was a nice atmosphere here, even though it was busy everything was calm and relaxed.
.
There are lots of @greeneking_official pubs in and around Kensington, this is definitely my favourite. I really enjoyed the vibe here and the back bar is a work of art. I would recommend a visit here, I would say during the day during the week is the best time to visit.
