LB Loves… Pubs in Mews

The pub – a great British institution and an important part of London life. Whether it’s a traditional cosy pub tucked away on a mews, or a buzzy gastropub, each pub has its own unique character and atmosphere. A place to relax, catch up with friends, celebrate with family and unwind with colleagues. London is blessed with a glorious selection of pubs and here are some of our own favourites, where you can eat drink and enjoy the best of British food and beer served with a very warm welcome.

1. THE QUEEN’S ARMS – QUEEN’S GATE MEWS

A hidden gem just around the corner from our South Kensington office. They’ve put lots of effort into a recent refurbishment and it’s well worth a visit. For those who enjoy the finer things in life, this charming pub setting has a wonderful seasonal menu prepared by a talented Head Chef and kitchen team. From lazy brunches, relaxed lunches and elegant dinners, there’s something for everyone. A well-stocked bar includes craft ales and beers, fine wines and artisan spirits. 

2.  THE STAR TAVERN, BELGRAVIA – BELGRAVE MEWS WEST

Visit this award-winning historic London pub and you will experience one of the most welcoming pubs in Knightsbridge with a real fire and dog friendly. The staff provide excellent service, delicious homecooked food and carefully selected beers and wines. The Star’s private rooms are ideal for hosting social and celebratory occasions. 

3. THE GRENADIER – WILTON ROW

Legend has it that Grenadier is named after young Cedric, a soldier who was caught cheating at cards and punished by being beaten to death. No one knows exactly when this ghastly deed occurred, but it is thought to have been in September as that is when ghostly happenings are rife. Visitors hang money from the ceiling in an attempt to pay his debt, but poor Cedric seems to remain trapped on earth. Aside from the dark tale, this pub is a place where you can try some classic and inventive dishes lovingly prepared by the Head Chef. Locals love it and visitors are instantly made to feel at home. 

4. THE VICTORIA – HYDE PARK GARDENS MEWS

This historic pub has a special place in our hearts as when Lurot Brand’s founder and Chairman, Antoine Lurot, first arrived in London on his way to boarding school in 1956, he ate his first English meal here. It’s next to our Hyde Park office, is renowned for being one of the best pubs near Paddington and has previously been Fuller’s Pub of the Year. Enjoy daily specials, pub classics and a friendly atmosphere. 

5. THE LADBROKE ARMS – WILBY MEWS

Close to the vibrant hustle of Notting Hill, tucked away in a quiet spot, this is a charming pub decorated with award winning hanging baskets and a pretty terrace. It’s perfect for a quick drink after work, an evening with friends and family, or a meal guaranteed not to disappoint. Great staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Also close to one of our offices… 

6. THE THREE TUNS – PORTMAN MEWS SOUTH

Located just off Oxford Street in Marylebone, this is a traditional and family-friendly pub with a beer garden and live sports viewing. Cask ales and classic pub food from the signature pub kitchen recipes hit the spot for comfort, nostalgia and utter deliciousness. 

7. HORSE & GROOM – GROOM PLACE

Nestled in a picturesque cobbled mews off Belgrave Square, The Horse & Groom is hospitable and peaceful, yet minutes away from Hyde Park Corner, Knightsbridge and Victoria. Traditional wood panelling and etched glass create a cosy feel. There’s an extensive wholesome menu and plenty of hand pumped ales and a good wine list.
