Upmarket 1867 pub tucked away on a leafy secluded square off busy Kensington High Street, At one time this was a haunt of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. Four handpumps at the bar and a shelf full of empty champagne bottles lining the walls show that the pub caters for all tastes. Behind the half-frosted windows lies an L-shaped dark wood bar with an ornate etched mirrored back. Walls are decorated with elegantly framed paintings, the most striking of which is David's Napoleon Crossing the Alps. The food offering reflects local tastes but does include pub-favourite meals such as fish & chips and a burger.

The patio out front has tables and heating, and the pub itself is air-conditioned. It is claimed to be the local used in the 1970s TV crime series The Professionals. The pub was a runner-up in 2022 in the Best City Pub category, for Fuller's Griffin Trophy.
