About Famous 3 Kings
Sizeable pub with multiple big screens showing live sports, plus comprehensive pub grub menu.
Large Edwardian pub on the corner of a very busy road junction near West Kensington tube station. The interior has five separate drinking areas. Access to the disabled toilet is via a lift. Rebuilt by Fullers in 1902 as the Three Kings, and as the Nashville in the 1970s this was a famous (or notorious) music venue where the Sex Pistols played. Our photo of the pub sign illustrates the three "kings".
Now promoted as "London's best sports pub" with multiple screens and access to 70,000+ TV channels. All the top European football leagues plus rugby, boxing F1, US sport, ice hockey, handball etc. Every televised English Premier League game is shown. The pub is not associated with any particular sport or team and attracts all London-based fan groups.
The food offering responds to how busy the pub is, and a sports menu is offered at busy times with finger and sharing food that does not require sitting down at a table with knife and fork. Drinks and playlists also respond to the fan base, with the World Ice Hockey in particular attracting different nationalities wanting something familiar. There may not always be two cask ales available; and you may have to put up with plastic drinking containers.
Multiple-times Sports Pub of the Year winner in the Great British Pub of the Year Awards.

Not the best burger we had. But decent. Would rather have tried the pizza - looked really good! Easy to order drinks, just download the app and pay by the table. Really nice atmosphere! Went to see Liverpool vs. Man United and the pub was full, but not too full. Staff was kind and people were nice.

I’ll start by saying this is a pub to watch live sports and it is truly one of the best spots in West London to watch football. They have screens everywhere, people will sing and drink. Service is also pretty fast compared to some other pubs. You can book tables ahead of time. However, I am here to complain about the food. We ordered a combination of regular wings and cauliflower wings during the Euros. It is stated as 1kg of wings for £18. It is not 1kg, I can tell you that much. And it’s just barely enough for one person. Flavours were absent, spice was absent. Burger as a follow-up was…

Great wee sports bar. Nice beer, nice food. Loved the local lager. Bartender staff were helpful to me, an out of towner. No hassle to order food and drink, and no fuss to make a change to what we wanted. Food came out delicious, well cooked, tasty and hot. The only reason for the 4 star Atmosphere rating is because of the overly loud and obtrusive music.

One of the best (if not THE best) sports bars I've been to. A multitude of screens, showing any amount of matches, all at the same time if needed. Arsenal were playing one of the nights I was there and the place was packed. Great choice of beers, friendly staff and good food.

Place looks nice, service as well, not to mention drinks. Thing which i didn’t like was ”Rated” Avocado salad, which was basically little of green leafs etc, third of Avocado, and extra two pounds get basically four small pieces of halloumi. Salad is overpriced for 16,5 pounds. Tasted a (partly) some wings too, which were good though.
