Pubs
As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Maida Vale. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Maida Vale
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prince Alfred | 5A Formosa Street Maida Vale W9 1EE | A spectacular Victorian pub built in 1856 and refitted around 1896 with an extraordinary set of fittings, now very rare survivors from the days when so many London pubs had small drinkers’ compartments surrounding the servery (those at the Princess Louise, Holborn, marvellous as they are, are a twenty-first century reinstatement). The central peninsular servery, complete with snob screens at one end, is surrounded by its five original compartments, each with its own entrance from the street, divided by wood and glass partitions, these punctured by low service doors for “pot boys” to slip through to collect drinking pots and glasses. The ornate back bar draws the eye up to the highly decorated ceiling and these, together with the intricate carving on the partitions, impart a rococo feel to the place. Light is provided by the magnificent full-height engraved bow windows. The passageway and bar area to the side sport some delightful wall tiling and floor mosaics as well as a fireplace in which, in colder weather, a real fire burns. Beyond is the open kitchen and separate restaurant, the Formosa Dining Room. The full menu offered here is served in all areas of the pub itself, where sandwiches are also available between noon and 4pm on weekdays only. The food offering includes Sunday roasts but the pub is often packed with locals at Sunday lunchtime so be warned! Unobtrusive screens offer sports TV which, this being Maida Vale, is often rugby or tennis. The very special nature of this venue was recognised in 2022 when its listing was raised to Grade II*. Artist and illustrator Edward Ardizzone drew “The Saloon Bar at the Prince Alfred” and his illustration is in Maurice Gorham’s famous book “Back to the Local”. |
| Real Drinks | 4 Formosa Street Maida Vale W9 1EE | Opened in August 2017, this was the first sister establishment of the award-winning ‘liquid delicatessen’ Realale.com, founded in 2005 in East Twickenham. The difference is that, whilst primarily a takeaway bottle, can and keg beer in ‘growlers’ shop, here a selection of the wares on offer is available for consumption on the premises. Beer is available in measures of 1/3 and 2/3 pint only, so intended for sampling prior to purchase of larger quantities by the litre to take home. Real ale is available via keycask including a house Moncada Formosa Pale. Those wishing to sample modern keg beers, light years removed from R*d B*rr*l and T*nk*rd, would do well to start here. Spread over two floors, the shop includes limited seating for those trying the beers. Events include ‘meet the brewer’ sessions as well as tastings for private groups. There is also a varied selection of wines, whiskies, etc. The company changed its name from Real Ale to Real Drinks in 2021. |
| Union Tavern | 45 Woodfield Road Maida Vale W9 2BA | The pub was built in 1848 as the Pelican Tavern. After further name changes over the next 150 years it was taken over by Fuller’s and this is now a part-tied beer house offering craft keg beers and cask ales produced within 30 miles and, with just one brewery exception, in London. As well as five cask beers, there are twelve keg lines. The mainly young crowd enjoys reduced beer prices on Monday, Meet the Brewer events on the first Tuesday of the month and various Soul, RNB and Motown music sessions every now and then: see the pub’s website for details & other offers. Good-value food is another plus, with traditional Sunday lunch a feature. The canal side terrace is a delight the year round, but comes into its own on a warm, sunny day. CAMRA West London branch Pub of the Year 2nd place in 2017. Card only. |
| Warrington Hotel | 93 Warrington Crescent Maida Vale W9 1EH | Flanked by K2 red telephone kiosks, this is one of the most opulent of London pubs. This spacious, stucco-fronted hotel was put up in the middle of the 19th century. It was given a major update later in the century, probably in the 1890s, and the glorious tiled columns to the entrance porch and a huge mosaic floor bearing the name of the pub give some idea of the richness that lies on the other side of the doors. It is also beautifully carpeted throughout. |
| Warwick Castle | 6 Warwick Place Maida Vale W9 2PX | Pub with a dark green frontage, blending with the rest of the terrace. Dating from 1846 the pub has kept various Victorian features despite some modernisation and is featured in CAMRA’s London Regional Inventory of Pub Interiors. Artist and illustrator Edward Ardizzone painted the pub in 1927 and his illustration also forms the frontispiece of Maurice Gorham’s book “Back to the Local”. Note the leaded windows with varied shades of coloured glass inserts. |
