“Gastro-pub with a locals’ atmosphere”
LONDON W14, LONDON POSTAL DISTRICTS

Our View
At the heart of cosmopolitan Hammersmith and handy for Olympia, this eye-catching diners' pub, generously dressed with colourful summer hanging baskets and boxes, is a popular place for people-watching. Bag a bench beside the adjacent flowery enclave on sunny days, or head inside where mellow furniture and stripped floorboards characterise the interior. Friendly staff, a comprehensive wine list and well-kept ales (St Austell Tribute, Skinner’s Betty Stogs, Exmoor Gold) are the draw for those seeking after-work refreshment. But it’s also a great place for sampling enticing cuisine with an Italian accent from a regularly updated menu and specials selection. Starters include pork and chorizo terrine with spiced pineapple chutney and brioche toasts; and bruscetta al pomodoro. Among the mains are penne with Italian sausage ragù; salmon and dill fishcakes; and pan-fried sea bream fillet with king prawn, chorizo croquette and sautéed spinach. Desserts are few but sweet: sticky toffee pudding, perhaps, or chocolate brownie with ice cream.

About the area
Discover London
The UK's capital was founded by the Romans shortly after they invaded in 43AD. Since then it’s evolved into one of the greatest cities on earth. From a bloody, squalid history to the vanguard of fashion in the Swinging 1960s to the buzzing metropolis it is today, London has something for everyone. There are very British pursuits like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and an impressive collection of traditional English pubs. And that’s not to mention world-renowned arts venues, galleries and museums, award-winning theatre and unrivalled shopping – all found within a few Tube stops of each other.
London’s royal history is not to be missed. Visitors can roam around one of Britain’s finest medieval castles and royal prison, and learn about the final days of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London or, for the less bloodthirsty, visit the Queen’s London home, Buckingham Palace. Don’t miss out on exploring the capital’s Royal Parks – from St James’ Park and Hyde Park in the centre to the majestic Hampton Court and wilderness of Richmond Park in the southwest.
