The Tea Clipper, Knightsbridge

A great pub. Visited for the first time with the other half on a Saturday recently when it was pretty much rammed with a mix of Harrods and Knightsbridge shoppers, tourists, regulars and locals who seem genuinely fond of the place. People were waiting for tables to eat at.

I'd say it's a real gem, a slightly old fashioned British pub that you wouldnt want to become much more popular in case you couldnt get in there. The grub was served hot and fast, especiallly considering how busy it was. Contrary to an earlier comment, the menu makes no claims about the place being a gastropub and concentrates instead on classic pub fare with a bit of a twist, probably just to keep it interesting. The incredibly busy staff were efficient and more than friendly enough, considering... Top marks from me.
