The Anglesea Arms is found on Selwood Terrace in South Kensington, where Charles Dickens once resided at no. 11. The site was originally a market garden and nursery dating back to 1712. The beautiful traditional pub is a Grade 2 listed building, steeped in heritage from the local South Kensington area.

The site today is a vibrant and iconic London venue, popular with locals and tourists alike, sporting a routinely bustling bar area, a beautiful garden terrace, along with a quiet & cosy dining room, all serving food all day out of our AA Rosette awarded kitchen.

We are very happy for people to bring in dogs to the pub, but in our restaurant we run on a strict no dog policy. The Anglesea arms is an over 21’s premises.

    Service and food were good. Sadly we were sat in the dining room which whilst lovely was small, and we were right next to a large group of men who were ridiculously loud and using incredibly bad language and talking about really inappropriate subjects (again, very loudly) considering it was a Sunday lunchtime (not exactly a late Friday/Saturday night out). We had 2 young children with us and there was just no escaping it given the small space. I would have hoped the management would have had a quiet and subtle word to suggest they lower the volume but I guess people worry about repercussions. Service was very good and we saw even the waiting staff were uncomfortable with the group, but there seemed nothing they would/could do. Food was good, just a shame a group spoiled the whole experience as we couldn’t wait to get out - the noise and constant bad language/subjects was too much. Deserts looked lovely but we just couldn’t stay.

    Hello Libby, Thank you for reviewing. My sincerest apologies for the noisy table who were sat near you. We would've loved if you mentioned it on the day, and our host would've tried to find you another quieter table for your family. We would like to invite you back and redeem your experience. We hope to see you soon, Team Anglesea

    What a delightful experience. Used to be our local pub years ago and popped in for dinner after not being in the area for years. The food and service were outstanding. We loved that the pub had not changed with time into one of those modern gastropubs and the Sunday menu was delicious. Fab place - to be repeated!!

    Hello Fiona, Thank you for your kind review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your return to our pub. Hope to see you soon again for drinks and food in near future. Kind Regards, Team Anglesea

    Atmosphere was very loud and crowded with Friday evening revelry. With a reservation, we were seated near the rest room and I was bumped repeatedly as people made their way to the restroom, which was a frequent occurrence. Fish n Chips looked beautiful but were quite bland. The battered crust had good crispy texture but was under seasoned, and the fish inside was mushy. The ambience was that if a classic British pub, so that was cool. I would go back for lunch maybe and order something else.

    Hi Martine, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the classic British pub ambiance and appreciate your feedback on the atmosphere and the fish and chips. We’re sorry to hear that the seating location wasn’t ideal and that the food didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll definitely take your comments into consideration, especially regarding seasoning and the texture of the fish. We’d love to have you back for lunch to try something different, and we hope your next visit is more enjoyable. Thanks again for your input! We hope to see you soon, Team Anglesea

    Reasonable food marred by an unpleasant host. We reserved a table for 4 and there were 2 tables for 4 in the bar area. We tried to sit at the window table and the host insisted ours was the one in the back. We asked to be allowed to sit at the nicer table but he insisted that someone else had reserved that one. By the time we had finished our meal there was still no one seated at the window table. When we pointed that out after paying our bill he apologized but had no explanation for why he had refused to allow us to sit there. What terrible customer service.

    Hi Wendy, Thank you for reviewing. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your visit with us, if you'd be happy to, I'd love to hear more detail on your visit so we can improve for next time please drop us an email. I will personally investigate on why our host didn't offer you another table. We would love to invite you back for a much better experience. Hope to see you again soon! All the best, Team Anglesea Arms
