About Queens Larder
Small, wood-panelled, 18th-century pub with stripped floors, banquettes and a comfort-food menu.
A very small, pleasant pub in a pedestrian area with ample outside benches and first mentioned in 1710. Despite its size, the pub originally had two bars. The main room has a lovely, homely feel with walls adorned by theatre posters leading up to a small lounge/function room. Food is made up of pub standards (rib of beef, ham egg & chips, fish & chips, sandwiches and snacks). Named after Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, who was receiving treatment for his apparent insanity at a doctor’s nearby. She assisted in his nursing, renting a room under the pub and cooking meals for him; the nearby park has a statue of her.
The pub is a member of the Timothy Taylor's Champion Club described by the brewery as follows, "Timothy Taylor’s Champion Club membership is awarded to our permanent stockists who continue to go the extra mile it takes to serve our beer."

Traditional London pub. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is good pub grub - Scampi and chips and my partner have a Fish fingers sandwich both very nice. Pleasant and friendly pub.

Stopped by after arriving at St Pancras. Quality little pub on the corner near a small park. Friendly barkeep with some great knowledge of the offerings. Had three different beers on cask and they were all perfect temperature and delicious!

Absolutely delightful old pub, beautiful interior, really cosy and homely. Three polite and friendly guys behind the bar, four real ales on the pumps and a little telly showing the news channel, which I think adds to a pub these days, but they need to turn on the subtitles! Great mix of people, two chaps playing chess, a little Indian crew, some old geezers, friends, couples.. One request, please get some good wines in! Even if they're still basic ones, go up in quality a little, as the reds were really quite awful! Look forward to my next visit to this charming place.

Super tiny "L" shaped pub. Staff and punters were all friendly. Super dog friendly bar. Heated outside seating. Great decor. Fresh flowers on all tables. The landlord and Landlady were lovely. Would go regularly if I was able.

A friend and I from the States, recently visited this small neighborhood pub! We loved how friendly and cozy the vibe was in there! The locals and bartenders were so welcoming and friendly, and we quick to fill us in on the history of the pub and the old neighborhood! The bartender Johnny was the star of the bar! He was very friendly, fun to watch behind the bar and very well liked by the locals. He made sure to give us a rememberable time while we were there visiting! This is 1 of 2 pubs we visited more than once during our visit, to London! I highly recommend this place is you’re looking…
