The Duchess of Kent — Restaurant in London

Very welcoming. Large garden area which accommodates those that want to sit in the sun, and a covered space for those that prefer the shade, or to smoke in the evenings.

Although the u shaped bar is not physically separated, it has a feel of 3 separate sections of the bar. This is an ideal layout for locals and first time visitors to find an area that suits them.

Personally I view the left hand side of the bar as most suitable for families, or those most familiar with the pub. This area leads to the pool room and garden.

The middle section at the front of the pub seems to be an ideal area for groups but also attracts those that like to pop in on their own for a few drinks. This area is also where the jukebox is located. There always seems to be someone that knows how to choose the most suitable songs to suit the taste of pretty everyone in there at the time.

The right hand side of the bar seems to attract mostly couples. There is also a dartboard in this section of the bar, however, that area also feels like a sub section of that part of the bar.

The bar staff are friendly and welcoming and very easy to talk to.

As far as I know, it's a dog friendly pub too. They have resident dogs, and customers have come in with theirs occasionally.

I've been to this pub often in the last 6 or 7 months, it's been a safe place to drink for me and I have never seen any trouble. Any hint of trouble is swiftly dealt with by staff and regulars.

It's a traditional pub that has managed to maintain the nostalgic atmosphere that is hard to find in pubs since the Wetherspoons era began.
