My co-worker and I…read morewanted a place to go for a late night drink close to our hotel and this was the only place opened past midnight that we could find. It's at the bottom of a Holiday Inn, or at least, it appeared to be that way, and was a strange mish-mash of a pub. I think it was trying to feel like it was really old, yet it had the strangest collection of furniture and decor. We had a blast making fun of this tavern. Tables were laid out in sort of a weird fashion and at first we were really close to this group of 20 somethings that were fairly drunk and really obnoxious and a woman who was sitting by herself at a table for 6 who was reading a book while her food sat off to the side. The drunk group left and it got nice and quiet and so did the woman who had a better table than we did so we took her table. Nothing we drank was anything we'd ever come back for. There are way too many good pubs in London. Unless everything else is closed and this is the only option, go elsewhere!

We were in the area looking for a "classic London pub". The Stanhope Arms was super close to our…read morehotel so we decided to pop in. As far as the aesthetic and vibes, it definitely met expectations! It's been around since the 1800's and has a beautiful bar (see photo). The food and drink options are classic English staples- we all ordered fish n chips and sticky toffee pudding. I'm no English-food expert, but I can say both dishes were pretty mid. The fish was huge, but not crispy... chips were perfectly fried- peas were, well, peas (lol)! But the service was friendly and the whole experience was a good one! Would I come back? Probably not- but I'm still happy that this was my first English pub/food experience in London!

The location was perfect for us, opposite of the Gloucester Road underground station and in walking distance of our hotel. Also, I like that you can reserve a table, and that they are open late if you are looking for a late night drink. We stopped in late one evening and really enjoyed the crowd and meeting all sorts of people. At this pub, I was introduced to the non-alcoholic Guinness which is my favorite NA beers to this day!!!!

Service was…read morequick and efficient, drinks were delivered promptly, and food came out quickly and hot as well. The atmosphere is relaxed, but there was a bit of competition for tables around 6pm, with some less than courteous guests grabbing a table when others were waiting first without checking in with the server on staff. If there are plenty of tables, it may not be an issue to simply take a seat, however, if tables are in short supply- best to check and make sure no one else is waiting first before grabbing the next available table. Otherwise it's a lovely atmosphere and a relaxed setting for an evening meal or gathering with company.

Alas, those options were all but gone from the card and prices were fairly high, too. The food we had was fine. It just wasn't the pub fare and drinks I was hoping for. It seems like most of these types of places are going upscale and the cheesy synth-music didn't help to distract from the lack of food options.

IMO as classic a looking pub as you can get, very warm, leather barstools, roaring fireplace adjacent to dark wooden tables. An array of taps from classics to ciders.
