A pretty flatiron pub at the corner of Connaught Street and Kendal Street featuring a selection of keg beers and London Pride for lovers of the cask. A delightful dining area to the rear and a convivial bar area at the front, complete with a piano, waiting for the next Liberache. A most enjoyable "traditional" London pub.

I've been going to the Duke of Kendal for about a year and a half now, and it has truly become one of my favorite places in London. The food is fantastic, and the staff is always friendly and smiling, with Gino being an absolute star. The pub has a charming and cozy atmosphere, with well-maintained premises and a spacious, more private room at the back. It's a classic pub with an excellent selection of beers and spirits. But what makes the Duke of Kendal truly special is the amazing authentic London singalong on Sunday evenings, which has been a highlight of all my weekends during my time in…
