Known forJungle CurryPad ThaiGuinnessvegan curry options
An iconic 18th-century Kensington pub famous for its flower-covered exterior and eclectic interior of plants, wartime memorabilia, and antiques. The kitchen serves authentic Thai food (Jungle Curry, pad thai dishes) alongside traditional British pub drinks—Guinness, Pol Roger champagne by the glass. One caveat: food ordering is split between the bar (drinks) and a separate Thai restaurant in the rear, which can feel a bit disjointed.
