Excellent Pub right off Portabello Road. The pub has been remodled closer to its original conditon (which seems to really confuse some neophytes). The beer is Samuel Smiths. A great bitter here and an excellent cider. The Saloon is a great place to sit and people watch on a Saturday when the market is open. I am not a local and the staff has always been most helpful and friendly.

Visited this pub Saturday lunchtime 10/11/07.
Difficulty getting served unless you are a local.
Stood at the bar waiting to be served for quite a time when 'local'reached over my shoulder,called the barmaid by name,and was served immediately.
Can't tolerate rude and ignorant staff and customers.

My wife and I got engaged in this pub back in 1987
, the 15th of October actually. We were heading home on a bit of a pub crawl and I popped the question in the corner facing out to the street. The pub still holds fond memories for us because of this. We live back in New Zealand but will get back one day.

The snugs in the Earl of Lonsdale are really rather special and they are original (they were ripped out in the 1960s but have only recently been put back in due to the careful attention to detail and high standards from Samuel Smiths). There are not that many pubs in this part of london with such character and certainly none where you can get a top quality pint of real ale for £1.78!

Only sells Sam Smith liquor which makes a change from the usual cast list.

However, the Earl has a slightly odd feel about it.

Extremely drunk elderly men are known to totter about in here on rainy saturday afternoons, just managing not to decapitate themselves on the "snug" wooden features. This is when they are not making slurred negotiations with bar staff that they are not inebriated and don't need to leave. The bar staff are normally correct.
