Now open, but probably not for very long. Has the atmosphere of a public toilet, and the same green paint. Whoever designed this needs a Chinese style re-education programme, quickly, in case they are set loose again. All remnants of character have been ripped out and this pub is now completely empty, almost always. Luckily the Builders Arms is just a short walk away. Terrible shame, used to be a great pub.

A great pub with friendly people and two pool tables in the upstairs room. Lots of character and during the summer will give you a plastic pint to take into the park next door.

Decent boozer, but as with most pubs has "locals" who bitch and winge if things change, like the 'no smoking at the bar' rule that is being phased into most pubs. One bloke who wasnt even a smoker was complaing, saying it was all the barstaffs fault

I do not know if you went to the same pub, Kevin, but Moni (the "grumpy" european barmaid) was just fantasic when she did a few weeks managing there. I drink at her other pub, and only went to the Wellesley Arms because of her. She (and her husband) are by far some of the best managers I have met. Shame about the rude/scary customers though.

If you manage to get the Grumpy
Eastern European barmaid to acknowledge the fact that the pub serves food you"ll get a good value
delicious pub meal.
This place is a real Chelsea local
mature locals -- however a little overheavy with shaven headed replica kit wearing football lads.

Great pub - the current managers (Ben and Moni) are great, only there for a few weeks, while the others are on holiday, but have stamped a great mark on the place - we felt welcome and had a great time.

Proper Chelsea "boozer", filled with characters, all Chelsea locals and regulars, Sport oriented, great place to watch a Chelsea match. Two pool tables. Just off the Kings Road, some celebs are known to frequent
