It is where the English serial killer John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath Murderer", met his first victim.

The Goat is the oldest remaining pub on Kensington High Street, being constructed in 1695.

The area had become a regular east-west route when King William built Kensington Palace and The Goat was the first significant building on this new thoroughfare.

[5] In 1944, the English serial killer John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath Murderer", had a chance meeting in the Goat with William McSwann, a wealthy owner of amusement arcades, for whom he had worked as a chauffeur in 1936, before spending time in prison for fraud.

[6] They met at the Goat again at about 6pm on 9 September, when they had some glasses of wine and a meal, after which Haigh enticed McSwann to his workshop nearby at 79 Gloucester Road[7] (now the basement of a branch of Kentucky Fried Chicken[1]), broke his skull with a pinball table leg, and dumped his body in a 40-gallon tub which he filled with sulphuric acid.

Området hadde blitt en vanlig øst-vest rute da Kong William bygget Kensington Palace og the Goat var den første store bygningen på denne nye gjennomfartsåren.

I 1707 ble den kjøpt av den lokale menigheten for 80 pund av midler fra legater testamentert av to kvinner som hadde satt av midler til utdanning og støtte til de fattige.

Inntekten fra puben ble deretter brukt til å støtte den fattige og en skole i Kensington i 1645.

[2][3] Rundt 1896 ble en ny pub tegnet av malerne Beggarstaffs som hadde sitt studio i Kensington på den tiden.

McSwann var den velstående eieren av spillehaller, Haigh hadde jobbet som sjåfør i 1936, for ham før han tilbragte en tid i fengsel for bedrageri.

Deep wood-panelled bar with its rear set out as a dining area.

At the front, the former bay windowed off licence has been converted into a small snug area.
