About Queen's Arms
Mews pub with separate dining area, popular with Prommers and musical students.
Dating from 1859, a lovely corner mews pub that is well worth seeking out for its cask ales and its large range of interesting bottled beers, craft beers and lagers, malt whiskies and other spirits. Note the very unusual curved doors. The L-shaped room features wood floors and panelling. The clientele tends to reflect the location: well-heeled locals, students from Imperial College and musicians from, and visitors to, the nearby Royal Albert Hall. There are few tourists as the pub is off the beaten track. The food menu and specials are of superior quality and the pub is very much food-led. You may well find that at lunchtime and early evening the tables are all laid out for diners, so be warned you may have to stand! Six handpumps generally have at least four ales plus a cider or two.

Phenomenal little gem, always book a table if you want food. Perfect distance for the Albert Hall and can usually pop in after a performance too! Even the drinks are happy to see you!

Great food and amazing service! I had such a good experience when I visited Queens Arms. I had Feona as my server and all I can say is 10/10. She was very hospitable and gave me her honest opinion regarding beer and food! Next time I’m in London I will be stopping by again. Pro tip… wait for your fish and chip to cool down because it was as fresh as it could be! Excellent!

What a fantastic first night in England! This hidden gem of a bar had the perfect blend of great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. Pedro's exceptional service made our experience even more memorable. Definitely a must-visit!

We wanted to experience a proper English Sunday Roast as first time visitors to London. The Queen’s Arms did not disappoint. We had an excellent experience. Food was fantastic and service was impeccable. A big thanks to Julia for making our visit special. Dennis White Roanoke, Tx
