The refurbished Zetland Arms pub, revealing centuries of Kensington stories.
The historic Zetland Arms is one of the longest surviving buildings in the area. As a traditional Victorian corner boozer, it oozes charm and history and has transformed from country inn to city pub during its lifetime. Initially surrounded by leafy nurseries, it witnessed the V&A and Natural History Museums rise majestically from their foundations and has been the pioneer of its neighbourhood ever since.
Priding itself on offering a proper British pub experience, soak up an inviting ambience as you savour cask ale, fine wines, soft drinks or botanicals from a striking gantry bar. Discover two floors of inviting interiors adorned with artefacts and photographs that tell of the pub's rich history whilst dining on a moreish menu of refined British pub classics. Whether living nearby or planning a visit to London's buzzing museum district, it will treat you to some old-fashioned London hospitality.
Christmas 2026 might sound far away, but the best tables (and the biggest pigs in blankets) always get snapped up first.
