🚇 High Street Kensington 🍺 £7.00 Asahi ❤️ A stunning Fullers pub located on a leafy square in upmarket Kensington. . The Scarsdale Tavern is located on tranquil Edwardes Square, I took a very pleasant ten minute walk from High Street Kensington station to get here. . This traditional Victorian pub has a beautiful exterior and a cosy patio around the entrance. The darkened interior is very easy on the eye and is full of old world charm with some elegant touches.

The pub is set out in an L shape with a dining area at the rear of the bar. . This Fullers pub has a familiar beer lineup with four cask options available.

Read moreMy visit to The Scarsdale Tavern in London was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip. Tucked away in Edwardes Square, this pub is a hidden gem, offering an authentic London pub experience that often goes unnoticed by tourists.
The ambiance at The Scarsdale Tavern is cozy and welcoming, a perfect reflection of traditional British hospitality. Charming flowers adorn the pub, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's an ideal spot to meet friends or make new acquaintances, all while soaking in the quintessential London vibe.
The food here is exceptional, with the Sunday roast truly standing out. I opted for the lamb, which was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The fish and chips, another classic, did not disappoint either, offering a crispy, golden batter and succulent fish. And for those seeking a hearty meal, the steak pie is an absolute must-try.
A special mention must be made of their Bloody Marys, which were some of the best I've ever had. They perfectly complemented the meals and added an extra zest to the dining experience.
What sets The Scarsdale Tavern apart is its location in a residential area, providing a peaceful escape from the bustling city streets. It's a place where you can unwind, enjoy a good book, and fully immerse yourself in the local culture.
The Scarsdale Tavern is an incredible destination for anyone seeking an authentic London pub experience. With its cozy atmosphere, delectable food, and picturesque setting, it's truly a must-visit spot. I wholeheartedly give it 5...
Read moreHad a little bit of a strange and unfortunate experience here. My partner had attempted to make a reservation in advance using the establishment’s out of date system and even made a phone call to book us a spot. However, when he received a confirmation email the reservation was set for the wrong day!
Regardless we wanted to try to eat here since we had heard how good it was supposed to be. I waited in line by the bar and was passed by employees several times before being offered assistance. I was then told at the bar that there were seats available for us to sit inside the dining area. After proceeding to the dining area we were turned away by someone else and told that there were no tables and that we’d have to sit outside. As we walked out the employee at the bar gave me a strange look and did not apologize for the confusion.
We persisted and sat outside where there was no table service and would have to go inside to order. After ordering two beers we decided to call it a day and head somewhere else due to the fact that the tables were so cramped that once the folks sitting next to us began smoking it went straight into our faces.
Our original reservation should have been honored or something else should have been done to compensate for the confusion and the establishment’s out of date system. I’m sure the food is lovely as is the service when things go according to plan but unless you have received a reservation confirmation for the time you want, I would likely recommend...
