Anglesea Arms - London

Despite the place being packed outside and in the bar area, the dining room was perfect, relaxed atmosphere, superb fireplace. The food was excellent and to be honest I can’t recommend enough the chicken and ham pie just delicious. Great cocktails and wine! Thank for a perfect family dinner! Will definitely come back!

Anglesea arms is the place where the Euros in Finance species goes to prospect for mating potential… before they are able to afford a membership at Annabel’s. “It smells like finance” said a friend once. It’s not untrue. Anglesea, on a Saturday late afternoon especially, is the place to be for meeting people, for people watching, and for having a good laugh. As soon as the clock hits 5’oclock, the various characters start to emerge: the pretty French girl wearing a fur vest, the Italian Casanova with the tweed pants and an open tab, the Swedish boy boasting a bored aristocratic air… and so on and so forth. It all feels like a nice prelude to the Folie Douce parties in Val D’Isère. The conversations are lively, people meet, chitchat, sometimes discussions amongst groups emerge, some other times people get accosted by someone who’s “been dared to interrupt them”… etc. It’s very predictable but mostly highly entertaining to watch. And makes excellent grounds for a fascinating anthropological study. A bit pretentious? Maybe. But Anglesea doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and fully embraces its persona, and the place it has in people’s hearts… and in London’s dating scene.

A pleasant local pub. Sunday lunch was fine: fish and chips food, pork belly good. But my beef had more grisle than I would have liked. Friendly service.

It's not just a pub. it's good to eat. it is a great location, it is the quintessential British look and it is a hanging up for south kensington's most beautiful people. it is a pint serving, champagne oozing, crisp munching fashion statement and I love it and live it every time I am in london

A great pub with great Sunday roast beer! make sure to make a reservation early to avoid disappointment, as they were fully booked by 1 hour (they are open by 1 hour).
