About Coopers Arms

Corner pub with outdoor space and an upstairs dining room serving British dishes.

The original Coopers Arms, licensed in 1831 as a beer house, was demolished in 1874 and rebuilt forty feet south of its original position to allow for the extension of Redsdale Street into Queen Street (as Flood Street was then called). The fine decorative frontage of London Brick and, above ground-floor level, the attractive architrave window surrounds with moulded cornice hoods and pediments, are all noteworthy.

Today, this popular pub, half-way between the King's Road and the Embankment, is one of just two in Chelsea tied to Young’s. The spacious 'L'-shaped area around the bar is furnished with comfortable chairs and tables. Six handpumps presently dispense a choice of two or three cask ales; the range may expand, further updates welcome. An interesting menu offers good food at reasonable prices for the area.

Cooperage is an ancient trade but there are now only one or two coopers left in the whole country.

    Probably the nicest and the most sophisticated pub in London. Very friendly staff, great food, not typical for a pub, more exquisite. Loved the place. Interior is tasteful and I could literally sit and look at all the details for good hour.

    If you wanna find a good place for Sunday roast you cannot miss this place. Delicious food, great choose of beer and drinks, friendly staff and moose head on the wall. What you want more? Definitely order toffee pudding. You should book seats or wait outside drinking beer.

    A brilliant pub! I have had the pleasure of drinking and eating at the coopers quite a few times. I have never had a bad time. Stimulating quizzes on Tuesdays and delicious roasts on Sundays. The staff are one of a kind; proper characters providing excellent service. Exquisite!
