Good pubs, Kesington

Looking for recccomendations for places to eat and or drink, mainly drinking, around the Royal Albert Hall. Ideally also some late opening places for after a show there. Not an area I am familiar with. Cheers all.

Bibendum is just around the corner, and is absolutely fab. If you're worried about price, they run a set menu at ~£30 for two courses.

Hawksmoor is also back up the road towards Harrods, and will probably serve you the best steak you can find in London.

Pubs/bars around that neck of the woods aren't fantastic - they tend to fall the wrong side of 'gastro'/swanky to be genuinely enjoyable. If you're pushed for time, the Queens Arms next door to RAH isn't terrible for a pint and a bite, but location means that it tends to get busy.

For late dining, Meursault is a something a bit different, and open as a cocktail bar (serving Japanese food) until well past midnight.

Depending on how far you want to travel I can recommend the Scarsdale Tavern for both eating and drinking.

12-15 mins walk away off Ken High St.

5 mins from RAH. Lovely place, used to have Coys of Kensington opposite with stuff like this in.



Now sadly turned into houses over the last few years.
