Kings Arms

A proper old time pub in a charming little part of Mayfair. The Kings Arms was formerly known as the Jolly Butcher and is a lovely little pub tucked away in the heart of London.

The Kings Arms, London SE1, review: a thriving corner pub in a ...

At the back there’s a large room, an informal Thai-influenced eating space, but it’s the bar where all human life happens.

“Ah, original pork scratchings,” says the man to his friend on the next table.

Elsewhere, a group of besuited gents, stretching out lunch perhaps, are all laughs and lifted glasses.

I continue surveying the public bar, noting the etched glass on the door, the brass hooks beneath the bar (it’s always the little things you notice) and the old photos of the area, a reminder of a London whose destruction was started by the Luftwaffe and continued by developers.

However, the Kings Arms still stands – solid in its durability, fulsome in its appeal – and as I continue to contemplate I realise it is time for another beer.

If you needed proof that small is beautiful, here it is.

All the space you could ever need for a glass and a bite to eat in a spot that the locals call The Beach... We are on the Fulham Road, next to Alio Y Olio, across the road from Sophie's Steakhouse, two doors from Daunt Bookshop and a minute from the Fulham Road cinema.

This is the Beach.

Another Geronimo pub near our friends and at the end of someone's street for a glass of beer, bottle of wine, a small or bigger plate of fresh food: but above all for the banter of a great local with the beautiful people of Chelsea.
