About Uxbridge Arms
Charming tavern serving traditional pints, wine & spirits, plus meat & cheese boards.
A world away from nearby Portobello Road, this popular back-street local dates from 1836 as a beer house. Up to four cask ales, and the pub also has an extensive range of gins; the food offering is light-ish but varied and includes sandwiches, salads, and a burger option.
The pub re-opened under new management after light refurbishment in early 2017 - the collection of old prints, plates, maps and other knick-knacks has, if anything, been extended, and the Lieutenant-Colonel's uniform jacket has happily been retained. It's very much a regulars pub but strangers are given a warm welcome.

We came for Charles Costa’s thank you bash. Charles was excellent live and the pub and the staff working there were perfect. It’s really unusual to get such friendly and attentive staff in a London pub. The food was good, the service excellent and the drinks were very reasonably priced. Thank you.

🚇 Notting Hill Gate 🍺 £6.25 Asahi ❤️ A superb Kensington locals pub. . The Uxbridge Arms is located in a quiet backstreet in Kensington and sits mid-terrace alongside the pastel painted properties which this area is famous for. Getting here is easy, Notting Hill Tube is a pleasurable five minute walk away. . The pub dates back to 1836 and had an interwar refurb in the 1930’s. The red brick facade stands out from the surrounding houses and the Georgian style windows set a traditional tone. . Once you walk in the door you get the immediate sense of a warm and welcoming boozer. The decor is…

An easy Five for The Uxbridge Arms in Notting Hill. A most gorgeous hidden gem of a pub in West London. Try it out, the find of the day in Notting Hill! Lovely 🍺, a range of both cask and keg. The pub itself is simple but funny, eclectic and slightly confusing (at least for me). It feels new, fitting in with a tradition. This is a lovely pub, miss it at your peril!!
