The Fox is proper pub with great beers, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and an array of lovely locals. There’s no music. There’s a TV but it wasn’t on. I had a great conversation with the landlady and her son; both of whom were easy to talk to, and knew a lot about the local area. They don’t serve food - crisps and nuts is about it. Again, this just adds to the authentic, old pub feel. If you’re in the area, this is a must see place. You won’t be disappointed.

I've returned several times to The Fox and Hounds as it's lovely traditional proper pub (in my opinion a dying breed) to while away time while enjoying a drink or two. The well appointed decor adds to the bolt-hold cosiness from Londons hustle and bustle. The bar staff are friendly hosts, creating a welcoming atmosphere and ensuring everyone is looked after, happy to make recommendations and patient with larger group orders, and the indecisive. Will definitely be dropping by next time I'm in the area.

I really loved this place, really beautiful little pub located a few streets away from Sloane Square station.Nice little building with a traditional English pub feel to it with equally traditional interior. This is one of those places where if you think of traditional pub you think of. Small but cosy, warm and inviting. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Good selection of beers that are well kept. I went during the day and there were quite a few people inside.

Wonderful, traditional old pub, no blaring music or TVs on, except during special sports events. No food served here, but a great after five hang out, with mostly locals. Everything a classic pub should be!
