The Anglesea Arms is found on Selwood Terrace in South Kensington, where Charles Dickens once resided at no. 11. The site was originally a market garden and nursery dating back to 1712. The beautiful traditional pub is a Grade 2 listed building, steeped in heritage from the local South Kensington area.

The site today is a vibrant and iconic London venue, popular with locals and tourists alike, sporting a routinely bustling bar area, a beautiful garden terrace, along with a quiet & cosy dining room, all serving food all day out of our AA Rosette awarded kitchen.

We are very happy for people to bring in dogs to the pub, but in our restaurant we run on a strict no dog policy. The Anglesea arms is an over 21’s premises.

    Reasonable food marred by an unpleasant host. We reserved a table for 4 and there were 2 tables for 4 in the bar area. We tried to sit at the window table and the host insisted ours was the one in the back. We asked to be allowed to sit at the nicer table but he insisted that someone else had reserved that one. By the time we had finished our meal there was still no one seated at the window table. When we pointed that out after paying our bill he apologized but had no explanation for why he had refused to allow us to sit there. What terrible customer service.

    Very cosy and nice ambiance. Good service. We had the camembert in the oven. This was tasteless. Would not recommend. Others had the fish and chips which was good. I had the chicken kiev.. again not very tasty.. However, we had a nice evening and the wine was good!

    Good food (except basic pudding) and nice table service. We were asked to leave (increasingly unpleasantly) from 10pm as they were closing. This being an unusually early time (it was Dec 30th) I feel we should have been warned in advance that we would have to go by then. Our waitress was also uncomfortable when asked if she would get the 12.5% service charge….overall not impressed

    Hi Barbara, Thank you for reviewing. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your visit with us, on Monday-Thursday and Sunday pub closes at 10 PM because it is situated in the residential area. If you'd be happy to, I'd love to hear more detail on your visit so we can improve for next time. We hope to see you soon, Team Anglesea

    We had gone with 4 friends on a Sun and the roasts were ok, presentation not great... We wanted to give another go as we stay close by when travelling, so went back as a couple the following week and had a delicious meal, hot off the pan, beautifully presented and served with a friendly smile. Lovely interiors and good vibe... well priced and very happy to call it a local now!

    When we arrived it was 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. The service afterwards was good, but the food was woeful and really overpriced. The cauliflower soup was completely inedible. Three of us agreed it was worst soup we ever tasted. All in all a real disappointment.

    Hi Paul, Thank you for reviewing. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't happy with your visit with us. We wish that you would have mentioned on the day that food wasn't up to our usual standard, so we could've made up for it on the day. We would love to invite you back for much better experience. We hope to see you soon, Team Anglesea

    We had a group of 6 for a special catch up meal and the preChristmas vibe was great. Service was ok for the busy Sunday night but the meals weren't great. The share platter of cheese and meat was just sliced up food, not well presented... the 4 roasts and 2 haloumi mains we ordered were the same, just a pile on each plate. The actual food was tasty but lost in the appearance. We did go again on another day and the 2 of us had a good meal so this could have been an off day with our group meal, willing to try again as the pub vibe is great.
