Small, Knightsbridge mews pub, certainly one of London's smallest.

It's a fine, old fashioned characterful pub with a fine fireplace, wood pannelled walls, some old penny arcade machines and several model airplanes hanging down from the ceiling. There's plenty of other interesting ephemera on the walls and ceiling as well.

There's an unusually low bar counter with correspondingly small bar stools to match.

It's free of normal pub embellishments such as TV's, modern fruit machines etc. Allow your mobile phone to ring in here at your peril, especially if the long standing guv'nor of 25 plus years, Kevin Moran, is behind the bar.

There's a basement bar downstairs, which fits in quite well with the character of the main ground floor bar.

The pub's name reflects the fact that stables used to be nearby, where the local nobility in days long gone used to house their horses and carriages.

The pub is in virtually every pub and tourist guide going, so, rather like at the Grenadier, on which I've recently posted, you may find yourself sharing the pub with tourists from the nearby hotels.

Beers on here are Adnams Broadside and Bitter at prices of £ 3.60p and £ 3.40p respectively. Yes, its expensive, but if you're in the area and haven't been before, this is one to definitely seek out

Well worth a visit - just for Kevin the landlord. What a throwback. Loads of memorabilia everywhere; old fun fair bagatelle, military plaques, newspaper cuttings and lots of photographs. Quirky ain't the word!

Landlord a unique character who runs a small pub very well. Adnams Broadside and Best Bitter are the best kept beer I have tasted in a long while. The secret to this is to keep it well but also to buy in small size barrels, so it never has time to go off.

Very touristy at times and the pub would seem to be in a number of guide books.

Food traditional british, good value for the area.

Nice fireplace to sit next to in the winter.

Worth going to if you are in the area. We went late sunday so probably had an unusual time in the pub. Beer very basic; Adnams(okay), plus carlesberg(aaargh!) and "a german lager". Landlord had personality, a rare thing these days. He described the sky sports pub up the road as "Pretty good if you like watching television. And chips." Bar maid nice and genuine. Lots of old pub clutter and cute downstairs bar. Locals were american trillionaires (probably), shame about the smell of bleach while we were there.

Interesting place - full of memorabilia, but also some distinct curiosities seated at the bar. Didn't much care for the spooky old landlord pacing around in a rather disconcerting way either. Still, the Adnams Broadside was fine, and I can't help but admire the 'no mobiles' rule. A very mixed bag...
