The Tea Clipper is a pleasant wood pannelled single room and despite the inevitable overflow from the nearby shopping streets it managed to retain a reasonable atmosphere on my midafternoon visit. It is located at the bottom end of the very pleasant Montpelier Sq ( I seem to remember a second pub at the rear right hand of the square years ago but that seems to have gone)

Ales were Marston EPA, Ringwood Best and, my choice, Hobgoblin which turned out to be rather good.

A word of warning - the toilets are not signposted properly and are in fact up the staircase on the front wall opposite the bar

If you are out and about in Knightsbridge the Tea Clipper along with the Paxtons Head are about the best options

Situated in a Knightsbridge side street not too far from Harrods is The Tea Clipper, a single bar street corner pub. The pleasant interior features bare boards and much wood panelling, with many shipping photos and prints. We learn that the pub was established in 1863, although it doesn't have that "olde pub" feel to it.

Perhaps not surprisingly, there's a rather upmarket ambience and prices for both food and drink are predictably high. There's no feeling that this is in any way a community local, but one that has set out its stall to pick up passing trade from Harrods shoppers and museum visitors.

On my recent visit, beers on were Ringwood Best, Marstons EPA and Pedigree. The Ringwood Best - £ 3.30p - was in good form.

This is a reasonable enough establishment, but it's not really a drinkers pub, and there's better alternatives not too far away.

Not a bad pub at all. Two decent ales on last night - Ringwood Best and Brakespear's EPA - looked like they'd been serving Oxford Gold too. Decent service, pleasant surroundings and the fish and chips were very good. A good place for a pre concert pint if heading to the Royal Albert Hall.

Nice pub, sexy landlady and good beers and bulk standard pub grub.

Nice place to waste a couple of hours and this was my local when i worked in Knightsbridge. best pub in the area and lots of famous locals if you are a celeb stalker :)))

This is a nice enough pub given its location in a popular tourist area. As has been mentioned, there is a nautical theme running through the pub and there is also a huge mirror on the back wall which had me thinking that the pub was much bigger than it actually is.

Oxford Gold, Purity Brewing Co Pure UBU and Jennings Redbreast were the ale options a week before Christmas along with a standard and premium draught selection. The barman was nice enough and he served me a decent pint of Guinness, but the barmaid was a bit moody.

There are a couple of plasma screens that were showing muted Sky Sports News, but I didn’t see any signs advertising Sky Sports proper.

This place is ok for a pint or two if you are unfortunate enough to be dragged shopping by the other half, but I wouldn’t make this a destination pub.
