The King's Head in City of London, Westminster

Food was good (large portions, too) and a good selection of ales etc. The staff was terrific. Don't be put off if there is a huge crowd on the street...that's the after work crowd having a pint...lots of room inside to dit down and have a meal

Stumbled upon this lovely pub as I travelled round Mayfair, amazing decor, love the atmosphere, amazing aray of drinks, DEFINITELY will be using this venue as a private function,

The meal was outstanding, definitely top 5 sausage and mash I've had. The lamb shank pie was fantastic as well.

The loveliest pub in Mayfair, with the best atmosphere and bar staff. Nowhere beats it.

Great night out would strongly recommend. Got a table reserved without any issues and staff were good. Well done

Amazing venue, staff are so attentive, have to say they serve the best Peroni i have had. Menu they have a great choice and you just have to try the steak and Nicholson's pale ale pie

excellent vibe, suitable for bussiness engagement

OMG what a delightful find. Last minute booking for 3 people for mid afternoon meal. Not only did they pull out all the stops to squeeze us in, they made us feel very welcome. The food was freshly cooked and delicious, attention to detail fabulous, staff welcoming and good company and the price very competitive. I will go out of my way to eat here again it was so good. Also - the toilets were the nicest and cleanest I have seen in any establishment for a long time.

Standard central London pub. Does what it's there for!

We work locally and the kings head has become our regular pub. The staff are amazingly friendly, remember a face and love a good laugh. Atmosphere is perfect for a causal work lunch and food never disappoints. Highly recommend

good service laurent. is the best!!!

We booked the cellar bar at the King's Head for a birthday party. The comms beforehand were great, with all answers asked promptly. The minimum spend requirement was reasonable and the venue was perfect, with enough room for everyone, including dancing. The staff who looked after us all night were great, helping us hook up to the music speakers and dealing with all our queries. I appreciated the fact that they let us know exactly when we'd hit the minimum spend , and refunded our deposit straight away. The only thing that could have been done slightly differently was that they switched off our music half an hour before we were due to leave (but switched it back on again on our request). Other than that, everything was absolutely perfect.

On vacation in London and we were just walking by and we stopped in for dinner and a pint (or two) with my parents and friends. It's a little dim, we had to use our phone cameras to see the menu, but that's the only complaint. The servers and bartenders are super friendly, the crowd was nice, the beer was good with a decent selection, and the food was fantastic. We stayed with the "garden platter" which wasnt what it sounds like, is a great baked Camenbert and some veggies and olives, flatbread, and a wonderful garlic spread. Fish and chips were excellent, crispy and moist, but the standout was the pulled lamb shank shephard's pie. It blew us all away.

Well kept beer. Delineated pavement area for use of customers. Friendly service. Child friendly. Traditional menu. Did not eat so can't comment on quality.

We had a great night at the Kings Head. Everyone in our group enjoyed it. Specifically - service, food, location and ambiance.

Came here between 2008-2011, every Friday lunchtime. We called it Shelly’s.

Great service whenever I’m here

Great place, go here on the time.

My favourite pub in London! Been coming here for many years and it never disappoints, whether it’s for food or an after work drink. Love this place!

Awesome pub and our regular in Mayfair.

Loved the atmosphere and the drinks were great! Food bites were also delicious. Will go again next time we’re in London!

It’s my first time to visit the pub. Lamb shank pie was too big portion and too strong taste which I could finish 1/2 amount. The pub was too quiet and not lively atmosphere. If you are looking for quiet pub, it’s perfect for you.

One of my favorite spots to unwind! The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the staff is incredibly friendly, especially Laura, who goes above and beyond to take great care of us every time. Highly recommend for a relaxed and enjoyable night out!

The service was excellent, Laura was very attentive

A wonderful quiet cool haven, we are a party of 6 enjoying a chilled out lunch and chat. Great food for a reasonable price very happy with our experience

Nice pub to unwind after a long week. Impressive selection of drinks and food. Snacks available too. No outdoor seating

Good food and friendly atmosphere

Laurent is amazing and his team Always a smile

I held a private event in the Cellar Room and was impressed by the service throughout. Laura was fantastic on the night, with very short queues/wait times at the bar and constantly making sure used cups and cutlery was cleared. The event went very smoothly and I am truly very happy with the service I received. Thank you Laura and team for your support!

Sorta pub food but not great food!

Gianni, Sara, and Dechen were fabulous. It was my birthday and they topped off the night perfectly. X

A HUGE thank-you to the staff of the King's Head pub who looked after my mum after she collapsed last week. The bartender (I believe his name is Faik) called an ambulance and stayed with her the whole time. He just went above and beyond to ensure she was ok. Please support this wonderful establishment. <3

Today had the salmon fishcakes, salad & baby potatoes. As usual, food was very good, well presented. A very nice traditional pub in a quieter side street.

Great pub, food was fantastic and staff very friendly. It may be in Mayfair but not at all pretentious. Definitely worth a visit

Refused to serve. Maybe because my forefathers were kings and some of them got beheaded so as an heir to the throne I can’t sit here

Lovely traditional pub. We went here for lunch in the grand room upstairs. Its such a lovely room and the waitress was very cheerful and looked after us well. We expected the prices to be high once we walked in the room but for London it was very reasonable, and that's from a Yorkshireman ! The food was excellent and good beer too. There is a service charge included but you are in a lovely room getting good service, so that's fair.

Visited a couple of times for food and drinks. Staff is super lovely and accommodating and food is delicious!!

Amazing pub located in the heart of Mayfair. Coming here at least once a week and they have great cocktails and super friendly staff. Also delicious food!

Loved the fish and chips here!!

Great pub in Mayfair. Food was delicious (slow cooked lamb pie was especially good.

Great pub in Mayfair. There are a few options that are near each other, and out of the two we visited I’d give a slight edge to King’s Head. The pies are fantastic, and so were the sausage and mash. Drinks on point, as expected in a pub. Good mark of a pub - lots of local business people spilling into the street after work, which was the case daily. Add it to your list if in Mayfair.

Faik was very helpful and polite Very good service and very tastey food, well priced

FAIK is the best…. i come here all the time great rose

Super fun pub! Definitely recommend!

Great place to watch football ⚽️

Always subjective describing the classic London pub, but this has to be as close as it gets. Awesome buzzing atmosphere inside, with people with drinks in hand standing on the street outside, enjoying the summer sunshine. Visited here in June 2024, can't wait to go back.

Outstanding traditional English pub near Fortnum & Mason. Fantastic cask ales and Beef Rib, Shin & Pulled Brisket Pie. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing team, everything was very good!!! Thank you all

Amazing pub , great beer selection , Amazing staff service

Best pub in mayfar, great service Amazing staff

The King's Head is such a wonderful pub and I had an amazing time. The staff are welcoming and attentive. The service is unbeatable, and the food and drinks are great. I ordered a negroni, which was one of the nicest I've had in London. I won't hesitate to recommend the place to my friends and family.

Just a few steps from the bustle of Piccadilly, a cozy, friendly, old-fashioned pub serving all the classics. Clean and comfortable with great service. It’s a favorite.

Little dark for a summers day, classic 80s as standard, like the flags and the rugby, slightly spenny with few pretentious types, more room and better smelling than goat tavern. Good for a one off new bond street

Very nice pub. Me and my husband enjoyed the food and drink. Friendly staff especially Sara. Amazing place! will definitely come back again.

Mattia was absolutely amazing. I received the best service from him

Mattia gives the best service!!

The bald lad was very nice. I really enjoyed my buffalo trace.

Our local by choice. Amazing atmosphere, best burger 🔥 Laurent and the team are super nice

A lovely old pub with two floors near Hyde Park. Friendly staff but extremely expensive. 5 drinks each 0.5 liters for just under 45 € 😅

Nice foods and good Tavern for drinks after work, Laurent and his staff very friendly!

Another one of the many pubs you'll find in London....we love the comfort food. This one had a potted Devon Crab dip that we'd never had before. Not exactly what we were expecting, but good nonetheless. Like many pubs, order and pay at the bar. Standard pub fare that met our needs. Nothing outstanding, but nothing wrong with it either. Recommended

Good food, service, price. Busy after work hours.

Great food. Great booze. Great staff. Proud to call it my local. If you’re lucky you’ve been served by Tasha.

Very tasty food, great service from Dane, I recommend you come for an enjoyable time.

Nice food , good price and great staff

This place in central London is really nice, not too far from Green Park Station. The staff are really friendly and the food is lovely. I'd definitely recommend it.

Cosy pub with excellent food 😋 friendly staff

Very traditional pub, I like it !

Had a great time at the Kings Head was served by the lovely Millie always very bubbly and welcoming will be coming back!

Had a lovely seafood platter and chips with drinks.

Great little pub. Quiet on a Sunday night

Would like to know why this pub doesn't sell Chardonnay ? Would have stayed for lunch but didn't because of this - so won't be returning.

Good downstairs area for a large group

One of the best pub experiences in London. Food was homey and delicious. It was so great that when I found £5 on the ground I gave it as an extra tip to the bartender.

Quiet and relaxing. Great food, great Guiness and even good wine. Highly recommended.

Avoid the meat pies. Its a nice pub and I would go back for a drink but for me one measure of a good meat pie is the amount of air under the top crust, and this was an amazing rip-off: about 5 inches of air under the crust and only about an inch of stew in the bottom. Horrible value for money. I would come here for beers but not the food, sorry.

We both had pies and they were wonderful! Great atmosphere. Will come back. Photo of Shepard pie. AND it was raining very hard when we left, the staff gave us an umbrella that had long been unclaimed !!! Can’t beat that for attention and service!

Held my retirement on the 12th Apr here and a great place to have had it. Staff were fantastic throughout.

Nice English pub with well kept decor and a long history. The food is good quality and prompt. The atmosphere is good

Great Lunch at The King's Head PubI recently had a wonderful lunch at The King's Head Pub. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the pub's cozy atmosphere was perfect for a meal.The food was delicious, especially the crispy onion rings and the Burger with juicy beef, melted cheese, and crispy bacon. Pairing it with a local craft beer was a treat.Overall, The King's Head Pub offers tasty food, good drinks, and excellent service. Highly recommended for a great pub experience! I look forward to returning!

Great food and great atmosphere ,we will be back

Arrived there at 7.50 pm, sorry 5 minute late, but couldn't eat becouse the kitchen close at 8, but the automatic system made me book in avance untill 9. Something doesn't work properly. Fortunately the pub in front of you had the kitchen still open. Mostra testo citato

Nice British pub with good staff, selection of ales, very busy.

This is a great spot for drinks and food. The atmosphere was relaxing and the service was awesome, too.

Private party in the Cellar Bar from Noon to 18:30pm for 40 family and friends with sandwich and platter lunch and Gold Buffet dinner, with desserts and cheese and biscuits. The Cellar Bar has great ambience, plenty of seating with cosy areas and a large tv if you need it. It's the perfect safe place for the kids to run around and enjoy the company of their cousins and friends. Very helpful, attentive and accommodating staff looked after all our needs throughout the afternoon. The food was plentiful, very tasty and very popular with the adults and children alike. The bar is well stocked, as you'd expect and reasonably priced. This was our second visit and we're thinking of making it a regular event!

Nice pub to visit, good location by Browns Hotel, good selections of beers, nice to stand outside when the sun is shining and have a chat.

hair in my food. the fish was either very salty or not salty at all. yep.

Great location, great ambiance, great beer, a good evening overall, just my sort of place. Two criticisms though (which sadly affected overall my judgement): 1) In my otherwise good steak and ale pie, I found only two pieces of meat which was not great value for money. That said, the veg was perfectly cooked. 2) Any good pub worth its salt MUST provide French (or better) Dijon mustard. Pubs which only provide (disgusting) English mustard only seek to insult their cooks and their food. Roast beef aside, English mustard fails to compliment ANY other food, it is just too hot.

Great Guinness. Staff were a bit frosty.

Nice staff, comfortable atmosphere and delicious food, we will definitely come back here again!

Had a midweek lunch on our way back to Waterloo Station 🚉. A great find with realistically priced food. Also a good selection of proper draft beers 🍻.

I rented out the cellar bar for my birthday and it was great. Cool vibe there with lovely staff who were friendly and provided a great service. Would book again.

If you are near Picadilly Circus it is great to disconnect and immerse yourself in an authentic London pub

Fantastic pub that's always lively and quick turnaround at the bar

Chill vibe - colleagues come every week (faster service than the one opposite ;)

Nice atmosphere, good choice of drinks and very friendly staff. Laura specifically was very lovely and friendly.

I travelled from New York to London to visit some relatives and I stopped for dinner in a pub in London. It was very cosy, The King's Head Pub exudes charm at every turn. From its welcoming ambience to its extensive drink selection, this hidden gem in London's heart flawlessly captures the essence of traditional British pub culture. A thing to highlight is that the friendly staff and delicious fare made my visit a delight. It is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic pub experience in London. I loved every second spent there.

My friend and I stopped in on a Tuesday night and were surprised how lively the pub was during a rainy night. We checked out the upstairs but there was no one eating there so we found a small table near the bar on the main floor and settled in. I had the chorizo and wild boar pie and it was excellent! We had a few pints from the bar as well and enjoyed the pub. It's located near Piccadilly and easy to find, well worth coming in for dinner or a pint.

Lovely pub, enjoyed visit will be back, didn't eat though.
