The Churchill Arms in Kensington and Chelsea

Great service and fairly priced pints

What an amazing place to pop into, full of life inside and out. Covered in plants and floral arrangements on the outside, war memorabilia and odds & ends on the inside. People sitting here reading at the pub, taking in the day, and sharing stories. Swing over for a pint!

Great place to visit. Didn't try the food though

Good variety of beers, the atmosphere quite cosy and historic

A very nice pub. They have Thai food and good beer.

One of the most suggestive pubs in London. I recommend spending a few hours in this pub.

Really nice bar. Just be aware that the food offered is Thai food. It was good, but I just would have preferred to have some local food.

It was recommended to me, the exterior and the setting are pleasant.

Great pub to pop in for a pint! Amazing atmosphere and helpful friendly staff. Can be a bit busy, but that’s because it’s such a great place. The attached Thai restaurant is great as well!

This place is fantastic for a great thai meal accompanied by a beverage of your choice. Be aware this place gets busy !

We went to the Thai restaurant and loved it. The service was fast and friendly, the beer options were good, and the pub is cute and very English. Reservations are recommended.

Quirky Fullers pub with fantastic Thai food. Very busy and deservedly so! Still one of the best in London for food and very reasonably priced. Go there!

Fabulous Thai food, great selection of drinks, and wonderful eclectic decor. I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing pub! Thai food is great 👍 Must see in London

Fantastic looking pub, full of character and history. We were lucky enough to get a seat in Thai restaurant in the back. I thought the food was good but not great. Sorry to be critical. We had a noodle dish with beef that was the best. But great service, lively, and definitely worth going to.

Only Had drinks so cannot comment on the food. Excellent vibe and very mixed crowd.

Lovely pub & do canned Guinness 0

Started with a curry and finished with a few pints always enjoyable

We showed up right at noon when the restaurant opens in the back. What a cool experience in the hidden, whimsical little restaurant! Get the Thai tea and Paid Thai ;)

We only had a drink here, but it was a lot of fun. Very atmospheric and wide choice of beer and other drinks. There is also a Thai restaurant in the bar where we will be eating next week.

Interesting place :) but great food and service! Pad thai and beef phanang was very delicious🙌

Delicious Thai curry, spring rolls and dumplings. Very nice service and great atmosphere!

An institution, most come to see CA from the outside. But inside and in the back holds a pretty excellent Thai restaurant. Go for a pint outside then saunter to the back for some delicious Thai - make sure to make reservations in advance!

Good place for drink , atmosphere al also good

Wonderful Thai food in a classic pub.

Did get any food but the refreshments and atmosphere are top notch. Everything I expect as an American from a British pub. The location in South Kensington is great. Bus stop just outside the premises make it easy to hop on and go where you need to go.

Beautiful pub. Took my friends who were in town for a few days and they loved it. Unique place.

We absolutely loved our visit to the Churchill Arms! The exterior is stunning — completely covered in flowers and one of the most photogenic spots in London. Inside, the Churchill-themed décor is packed with charm and history, creating a warm and quirky atmosphere. The real surprise was the Thai food — fresh, flavorful, and served quickly even though the place was bustling. It’s a fun, unique pub experience that combines classic British character with a delicious twist. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Kensington!

Great quirky pub with a Thai restaurant inside. Amazing, will be back

Great food and drink in a spectacular setting, nothing like seeing the whole facade in bloom! Make sure you get a reservation, seating is limited. Having been here both during a quiet hour and a busy spell, can testify that service is unaffected, great both times! Highly recommend the wings and dumplings, and their Pad Kee-Mao is excellent.

The standards in this beautiful pub have gone down hill so much - what a shame! Empty drinks glasses everywhere although lots of staff standing around doing nothing! Dirty wet tables as a result. The pub is so popular now with tourists it seems what was once was a haven for a reasonably priced local in an expensive part of town is now also astronomical in price. An eye watering £15.35 for 2 very average pints of lager. The overall appearance of the place and the lack of attention by the pub staff make for a poor atmosphere. The Thai restaurant still serves decent food with a better and more friendly service than the bar staff provide but again overpriced for what you get! £30.00 for 2 stir fries and rice plus exorbitant drinks prices no longer make this a pleasant boozer to spend any time in. Won’t be returning which is a real shame as sporadically have been coming here for years! Things do change I guess. Sadly not for the better with this establishment.

An excellent facade! We went so early that we couldn't eat anything... :(

If you're looking for a place with a quirky charm and delicious Thai food, come here! The Churchill Arms pub is a very interesting experience. The restaurant is always busy and you're limited to an hour to have your meal but they serve fast and the portions aren't massive so are easy to finish within an hour. We were always lucky to get a seat without having to wait.

Banging Thai. Tourists eat your heart out

On springbreak, we stop by to grab a beer, and the food and it was great. Cheers

Excellent experience. Wonderful people, great food and beautiful pub.

A cult London facility that must be visited when you come to London

A very quaint British pub in the heart of Kensington. Very unique in its decor. Take your time looking around the memorabilia around the pub.

This place opened in 1750 and it is still going strong. It clearly had a different name in 1750 though! I need to research. Very attractive premises enhanced by lots of flowers and lights at different times of the year. It does get very busy but staff are very good. The Thai food served in the rear of the building is lovely.

My favorite pub in London, but it is always crowded.

Great, iconic spot for a pint. The food looked delicious but we only came for drinks, which were nice. The was a queue but it went fast. We really enjoyed the decor and memorabilia, and the flowers on the outside were lovely.

We had a horrible experience at the Thai Restaurant. We were walking past and decided to stop for a light meal and drinks as we were not overly hungry. The very rude waiter was condescending and told us we could not eat at the restaurant because people normally order meals and sides. We wanted a main meal and would have spent money on alcohol. Considering it was 3pm and they were not busy with plenty of spare tables we were shocked. I will not go back based on the service.

My favourite London pub good beer and great restaurant serving Thai food. Very popular always busy so get there early.

A proper British pub. Great atmosphere.

Didn’t eat here but have heard the Thai food is delicious. I’ve been here when traveling through London on business many times. But my wife and I were vacationing in the UK and I brought her along. She’s almost “almost” as much a history nerd as I am. She fell in love with the place. She’s also a master gardener so the buildings facade was especially wonderful for her. Inside would take days to explore. It’s wonderful. If you’re in London, and near Kensington, make the visit a priority. It’s well worth it.

Traditional English Pub where you may find the real British spirit and real British beers, of course, but with good Thai food.

Even on weekdays, the inside was crowded, relatively small, and the area around the counter didn't feel clean. The Thai food area was bright and nice. The staff were also friendly. It is better to make a reservation when coming. The outside looked nice, but the inside of the store was disappointing and had a strange smell, so I gave it 3 stars. The food is delicious!

Pad thai was amazing! The ambient is lovely.

Amazing pub,a lot of history,great atmosphere,just beautiful place

Great space to meet friends. Excellent food and libations. One of our regular stops and should be yours too.

Wonderful location, great service, great menu. It’s a great option for the neighborhood

We tried out small plates and enjoyed all of our meals and drinks in this classic spot! Fun spot to enjoy some delicious Thai food.

Beautiful pub but overly crowded so had to squeeze in to be able to get a drink. Nice staff and area.

Pub anglais très sympa, déco très chargé mais très appréciable. Il est assez grand et il y a la possibilité de manger sous une serre des repas thai.

Such a beautiful pub! Limited seating inside but luckily grabbed the last table. Every inch of space on the walls and ceiling is taken up with fascinating memorabilia. Even being so busy we had no problem getting our drinks. Please note it is only Thai food served here. We really enjoyed our time and would love to visit again.

Meh 😕 Used to be good but visited there yesterday and the food was like something you get in prison 😬😖 It's a tourist trap. The location get you in but if I was you just visit the pup and go somewhere else for food 🫤

Welcoming Pub, lots of historical decor on walls and ceilings honoring Churchill. James, an Irish host was charming and made us feel very welcome. Good bar staff. Thanks for the visit.

The pub and building aesthetics are top notch. The food from the Thai kitchen is AWFUL! It tastes like it has been sitting in a slow cooker so long the rice has turned to mush. It cost us (2 people) £30 to leave our food on the table after picking out the carrots because that was all that felt safe to eat. So go for a beer and enjoy the pub itself but don’t go hungry because you’ll leave hungry and unsatisfied.

It is the best place I have eaten in all of London. The service is lovely and very friendly, the food is spectacular and the place is beautiful and full of atmosphere. Mandatory stop for anyone

Very good and plentiful Thai food. Fast service and above all very friendly and customer-focused staff. very nice and particular setting.

A cozy and traditional pub within a beautiful building. Unfortunately, the Thai restaurant was closed for maintenance, but we had some great Guinness and cider instead.

Really quaint Thai restaurant. Comfortable environment, very friendly staff and very good food. Very clean restrooms. Definitely worth trying!!

We had Pad Thai and it was tremendously good. Very friendly service and very cozy and lovingly decorated place. We will definitely return ;)

Good food and drink. Fun atmosphere!

Slow bar service from the beginning, although there seemed to be plenty of staff hidden away! Then their card machines wouldn't work. I finally paid and sat down in a quiet corner - there was no sign of any danger whatsoever. I had put a carrier bag on the seat handle, when I quickly popped to the toilet. I was gone for less than a minute and when I returned my bag and drink had been taken!!! BY THE BAR STAFF!!! Lol. It left me in a totally uncomfortable panic. No need for that to happen in such a short space of time. I complained to management and they were totally unhelpful. I know things get stolen very quickly but not in those situations. Perhaps tell your people, that if something like that happens again, use some discretion, give it a minute or two to see if the person who has gone to the toilet comes back! Think of yourself as a traffic warden!

Iconic Kensington Pub, made even more famous by social media. The exterior is photo worthy in every season. The interior is an ode to its namesake and London of WW2. Worth the trip for pint

We just had a drink on this visit to London. The Churchill Arms is the epitome of a classic British pub. Harping back to those post war days and a romantic memory of how it might have been. I really enjoyed looking at the memorabilia. Great place.

I have had my fair amount of meals over the years in various places inside London. Through my visits I have tried several places, with a variety of food. Still my visit this evening at Churchills Arms in Notting Hill, beats them all to bits. Who would have thought, that a pub with that great a british ancestory, and pints many forms, also would contain such delicious thai food? My guess was, no not going to happen. Let ne tell you, the food was nothing short of fantastic. Full of flavour, beautifully seasoned, and well proportioned in portion size. The vegetabkes,was crunchy, the noodles delicous and the chicken scrumptious. Than you for a great meal

This is Churchill's favourite pub with a random random Thai restaurant inside of it. I go there for atmosphere and drinks and recommend doing the same 😉

We went to take photos of the outside and in the end we came home for a drink. It's really worth going there, it's really magnificent

Great Thai food and traditional pub combo!

Great place for a beer and loads of history!

Excellent Thai food, highly recommended. 🥰🥰🥰

An incredible place full of history. Great! Superb both inside and out

Lovely boozer for whom decluttering is a stranger

Iconic bar in Kensington. Thai restaurant connected next door. Smelled so good, we had stopped in for a pint and ended up coming back later for the curry dinner! Lovely spot.

It's just a delight! Very cool, atmospheric, interesting and historical place! I only took a small pint of beer, unfortunately I wasn’t hungry, but this place is something unimaginable!

I don't value the food because I haven't tried it, the rest is spectacular

Good burger, friendly waitresses. They have Estrella Damm and they know how to make good coffee

Very atmospheric place. After a whole day of sightseeing in London, I recommend dropping in for some good food and a beer😊

I really enjoy the atmosphere of this pub Very quickly look inside

Mandatory stop to enjoy a London pride, the decoration is a spectacle

Strongly recommend prawn rolls, green or duck curry

Very nice pub. Food very tasty. Good service. Friday evening with a DJ who plays really good music

Very nice pub, surprised with Thai food options, However very good quality. Service was excellent. Very welcoming, good to have a chat with Gavin and meet Dante, the pub pup. The decore is traditional British nicest pub in london friendly staff. It's a must try when in London!!

The Churchill Arms was busy with tourists. The beer offerings were good. Staff were friendly. The pad ped with chicken delicious too. Definitely meets the Youtube hype. Check it out!

Great Thai food and great drinks in such a unique location.

Wonderful old world pub, choice of food was good, food itself was great, very warm welcome, great atmosphere, nice to have table service, decent choice of drinks too, looking forward to returning soon.

Cozy pub with a lot of decorations hanging from the ceiling, Fullers, Asahi, Neck oil and some others on tap, and great Thai food at the back - can get booked out in the evening but not too bad in the afternoon

Delicious delicious delicious, great price, great Guinness, lovely service and waiters all so friendly and fast.

Known through online reviews, it's a "must-have" for tourists. A great atmosphere. A bar with soul. Highly recommended.

Typical cozy London pub with a history. Thai food in the back is unexpected, and delicious at the same time.

Historic place with a great atmosphere!

Amazing pub with an even better Thai restaurant tucked hidden away inside. Great homely food, fast friendly service and most importantly great quality! The atmosphere is very lively!

Cool Pub to visit and split the G! Good crowd! Lots of interesting people. A true must visit when in London.

Nice and original pub to visit if in Nothing Hill area. Good selection of beers

Historic Pub with Character – Just Skip the Prosecco The Churchill Arms has an iconic picture-perfect curb appeal, especially in the summer. Unfortunately, we visited in March, but it still gave off great British pub vibes. Inside was just as interesting, with toby jugs hanging from the exposed beams and mementoes everywhere, including an Irish post box. I was looking forward to my drink, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. I asked for Prosecco, just something light and refreshing, the Bartender handed me a dirty glass and a very cheap-looking Prosecco in a mini bottle, leaving me to open and pour it myself. What a letdown. We finished our drinks and decided to eat elsewhere, having been underwhelmed by the service. Visit the Churchill Arms if you want a quick drink and soak in the atmosphere. It's a British Pub I won't be rushing back to.

Decoração maravilhosa, e acaba por aí. O menu só tem comida tailandesa. Você tem que ficar espreitando por uma mesa. Ninguém é responsável por isso. Para piorar, pedi uma cerveja Guinness e estava filmando a garçonete tirar a cerveja da torneira. Ela disse para eu não filmar, sendo que eu já tinha registrado vídeos parecidos com outros dois garçons. Apaguei o vídeo na frente dela, mas me senti extremamente constrangido. Como se eu estivesse filmando ela ao invés do meu copo. Enfim, não recomendo e não voltarei.

We visited The Churchill Arms and managed to get a table for two without a reservation, which was a plus. The food was okay, and the prices were still acceptable. However, our experience was somewhat disappointing. One of the older waiters was not very friendly—it was clear that he wasn’t enjoying his job, which affected the atmosphere. Additionally, the restaurant desperately needs a deep clean. While the decorations are certainly unique, many of them are covered in dust or even rusting, which makes the place feel neglected. It’s not a spot where you’d want to linger; it’s more of a quick eat-and-leave experience. Another downside was the automatic 12.5% service charge added to the bill. While this is common in London, it didn’t feel justified given the service we received. Overall, The Churchill Arms has potential, but it needs better maintenance and friendlier staff to make the experience truly enjoyable.

Lovely pub,didn't eat there but the food looked lovely, Thai restaurant inside.
