Great pub on a Saturday when trying to escape from the horrors of shopping on Sloane Square. Great Fullers beers, and nice atmosphere. Not open on Sundays which is a shame,

Popped in here on a Friday evening.
Pub is tucked away just off the main drag out of Sloane Square and a cracking little pub it is.
Good range of real ales, a decent nod to the lager drinkers.
Central bar and lots of cricket related stuff from their long standing competition with the Churchill.

Well worth a visit if you are shopped out on the Kings Road.

I popped in here for a lunchtime drink mid-week. The food was pleasant and seemed home cooked, rather than the usual cook/chill. Had a nice bacon and brie sarnie. Not cheap but value for money & good for this touristy area. Genuine old pub, lots of nooks and crannies, rather rickety. Pleasant ambiance, albeit lots of hooray harry business types. Staff pleasant. A lovely pint of Fullers ESB, nice leather chairs and fire. This is a small pub though there seems to be an upstairs bar with basic seating. Recommended. Careful with the stairs!

recently visited on a Monday night for the first time - with friends, and a general thumbs up. Good Chiswick Bitter (rare to find it), the London Pride and ESB also I'm told went down well.

Went there before and after a concert at the nearby Cadogan Hall and thought it an excellent discovery. Good quality beer, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff.

A Fuller's pub so expect decent ale. I had the Discovery for a change when I was in the other day and it was excellent. Pretty crowded on a Thursday evening with not much room to move round the central bar, but that's to be expected in a decent pub in London. Service was fine taking into account that it was busy. One of a number of really intersting mews pubs in the general area - definitely worth a visit.

A really pleasant pub. Decent ale and food. Can get a bit smokey but there is a no smoking area. Very friendly staff.

The Antelope is a great pub in a great location - the average Sloane Square gawper won't find it.

Only downside is that it seeems to attract a large number of poseurs who would like to live on Eaton Terrace but are more likely to follow the junior Maxwells route to social standing and wealth.

Alterantively there's quite a few who still believe the social mores of the 50s still work. You know how it goes..

"Well I was buggered at Eton and it did me no harm so I can't see how it could be bad for him"

Still - I'd well recommend this place - went on my first date with my now wife here. It is really good particularly when compared to anything you might find with signs like O'Neills, Yates's or All Bar One over the door

A wonderful pub close to Sloane Square. The Chiswick has always been kept very well when I have visited and I hear the Discovery is very good too.

Just around the corner from sloane square. This is a nice old place with fullers beers. The Chiswick went down a treat. The back part of the pub had a timeless feel, which is probably why I was late meeting a friend of mine.

What was a good pub has been marred by the arrival of a landlord who'd, it seems, be happier doing anything else but. T Taylor was offensive, so were the staff. Big sandwich menu on the wall. 'Sorry, we haven't any', was all they had to say...at 1.30pm!

Won't be going back.

This pub has recently been taken over by Fullers, so the beer has vastly improved, i was there the other week and had an excellent pint, as for the Lowndes arms yes it is now a house but that happened years ago.
lovesong - 23 May 2005 16:46
The Antelope will always be The Antelope and quite right too, I like the place but there used to be a cosy little pub around the corner from here called The Lowends Arms. What happened it? I went looking for it on a recent visit to the area and it seems to have vanished. Hopefully I took a wrong turn but I don't think so. Can someone please enlighten me, Has it really been transformed into a private house?

Found this pub while looking for the Star (please go there instead). Completely empty except for grumpy barmaid and the beer (Jack frost) was terrible, cloudy and tasted bad - and expensive. Was very disappointed.

I haven't been in for a while so I'm concerned by Peter Samsom's comments. It used to be a really good pub so I'm just hoping he caught it on a very bad day. If it's like days of old there's plenty of charm, character and real ale to have a great time.

I used to come here every night when i worked in the city.Unfortunatly how good pubs die quickly.I was embarrased when i brought my new boss for lunch.After our first drink(if i can call it that) we decided to go the nearby Orial.Expensive but at least good service and beer.The Antelope is not The Antelope anymore.

Traditional style pub. Small on space but big on atmosphere. Gets busy but worth the trouble of finding it.

My favourite London pub. Yes, it's expensive, but worth it. Their cider is like nothing else I've had in London (including Chimes). You can really settle in and get hammered with the Debretts classes. Go there and enjoy. I insist.

Expensive but worth a visit. Just one visit, mind, you'll be bankrupt if you go back :)
