Eating/drinking in Kensington 11:00 - Jul 23 with 1968 viewssoupytwist

Does anyone have any suggestions for pre-concert at the Albert Hall eats/drinks please?

We're likely to be travelling in on the Central Line from the East so don't mind getting off the tube and back on again.

Thanks

There are loads, lots of very good pubs down tiny streets or in mews around there, just walk off the main road and obvious pubs as they do all get busy but ive always founded a spot.

Queens arms, Gloucester arms, Anglesea Arms, Builders arms... tell me if you're spotting a theme ;)

The Churchill arms is worth a look, especially at Christmas, but is tourist pricing.


Anglesea arms on a summer Sunday out the front on the terrace. Glorious.

Favourite pub after Scarsdale Tav.

As a frequent promgoer, I'd throw into the mix Khan's of Kensington (above-average Indian 50m fm South Ken tube), Stein's Berlin (a newish German bar / restaurant 200m from the RAH on Exhibition Road, doing great proper beer even by the litre and authentic Schnitzel (etc)), the Queens Arms is a great shout but is likely going to be full be 5pm; the Builders Arms is 5 mins further away and you can book a table. The Hoop & Toy at South Ken is a typical GK, worse beer than Wetherspoons at twice the price. There are some chain places around South Ken Station, incl the frighteningly trendy Brindisa tapas and Comptoir Libanais. Daquise is a London institution, a wonderful Polish restaurant that has been going decades.

Not off the top of my head sadly - nearest place round there is probably Loftus Road!

I can however promise you the best sausage roll of your life just up the road at a place called "Supermarket of Dreams" next to Holland Park.


I know a motorway service station that is in the running for best sausage roll of your life, but you have to travel more than 200 miles North of London for it:

For the OP, the best answer is in here somewhere:

Hi Mate - loads round there, my former manor.

Naturally budget and cuisine type are the key questions.

But there are plenty of great pubs that do food about 10/15 mins walk further west, close to high street Ken.

In no particular order, I could suggest:

- The Abingdon - more of restaurant now but great food, bring your wallet though!
- Scarsdale Tavern, best pub in London IMO, Fullers owned too so won't break the bank.
- The Holland - good all rounder but leans more gastro pub.
- Builders arms, favourite of the after work crowd, quite "yuppie" but good atmosphere and probably closest to Albert Hall.

Beware the £8 pint though!

Let me know if you want anything more specific.

Piers Morgan is always in that Scarsdale boozer.

He is indeed.

Lives in a beautiful house on the square there.

The Greene King pub in Knightsbridge on one of the busiest roads in London?!

Surely not.

Sadly I don’t own a car otherwise I’d certainly be tempted!

Not surprised to see The Holland in there. The Abingdon just round the corner I would say is still best of gastro pubs in the Neighbourhood.

Spoilt for choice for good pubs in that part of the world.

I would highly recommend Ognisko on Exhibition Road and a five minute walk to RAH. My all time favourite restaurant in London. You will definitely need to book! https://www.ogniskorestaurant.co.uk/

Yes we are, for the first time.

Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto is the main feature.


Loved Mendelssohn ever since he was in a minister in Tony Blair's govt.
