Pubs
As Londoners at Cozee, we cherish our weekly visits to the local pub. Why not embrace the same in your new living space? We’ve diligently tested and reviewed all the pubs in Royal Academy – well, not literally, but we wish we had! Here’s our list of the finest pubs in Royal Academy.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chesterfield Arms | 50 Hertford Street London W1J 7SS | Smallish corner pub in the historic Shepherd Market area frequented by tourists; with an upstairs restaurant and function room. Now operated by Metropolitan Pub Company under the Chesterfield Arms name again, its previous name 1769-1938. Four handpumps usually include a house bitter. The food menu offers fresh seasonal dishes and pub classics. |
| Coach & Horses | 5 Bruton Street London W1J 6PT | An excellent refuge from the nearby Bond Street shopping area. First licensed in 1738, it was rebuilt in 1933 and has an imposing mock-Tudor exterior contrasting sharply with its surroundings. This is thought to be London’s narrowest pub and inside it is tiny; the atmosphere is traditional, with wooden beams and panelling; pictures on the walls feature caricatures of 19th-century politicians and clerics. Four handpumps although not all are always in use. The small dining room with bar upstairs is available for private functions. |
| Coach & Horses | 5 Hill Street London W1J 5LD | The oldest-surviving pub in Mayfair, this distinguished establishment dating from 1744 is also Grade II-listed. The splendid bar is outstanding with much polished wood, alcoves and mirrors; pictures depict humorous drinking scenes from past times. An unusual wooden canopy extends over the bar counter and brass lanterns above contribute to the impression of grandeur; the rear seating area features an attractive marble and wood fireplace. The pub is popular with business people from the surrounding area and is available for private hire at weekends. As at date of this entry, August 2023, the kitchen here is temporarily cloaed. |
| Footman | 5 Charles Street London W1J 5DE | Licensed in 1749 and rebuilt in 1937; the only pub in London bearing this sign. In olden days liveried footmen were employed to run before carriages to pay toll dues, carry lights at night, and similar. Their physical powers were often formidable and some could run sixteen to twenty miles in a couple of hours. Now the site is a comfortable lounge bar with attractive bay windows and additional seating plus restaurant upstairs. The food offering includes lunchtime sandwiches and Sunday roasts. The venue has been described as “a posh local for posh locals”. |
| Grapes | 16 Shepherd Market London W1J 7QQ | High ceilinged bar hidden away in a corner of Shepherd Market. There is a hunting theme, with taxidermy round the walls. Raised seating areas by the windows and summer seating outside. Licensed in 1742 as the Market Coffee House and renamed some forty years later then rebuilt in 1882. The pub is in a tourist area and can become crowded in popular hours and you may have to drink in the roped-off area outside. There is a Thai restaurant upstairs, but in addition the pub food menu includes various English pub classic dishes, and a lunch deal. |
| Guinea | 30 Bruton Place London W1J 6NL | This is a small mews pub with its own renowned “Guinea Grill” restaurant, which has become a destination pub restaurant and for which booking is advisable; the restaurant has a meat fridge from which customers can select their own cuts as they enter. The bar area itself has limited seating and can get a bit cramped when busy. Unsurprisingly in this area the clientele tends to be upmarket and ale prices reflect this. |
| Henry’s Cafe Bar | 80 Piccadilly London W1J 8HX | On the north side of Piccadilly and very close to Green Park underground station, this venue has a surprisingly cavernous interior, much larger than the average for pubs in Mayfair. A renovation in 2016 produced a profusion of Art-Deco-ish mirrors and glass, with raised seating areas and velour banquettes. Large food menu including brunch; four real ales (although despite showing the pumpclips they may not be available). Prices reflect the location but see venue website for any special offers or vouchers. There is a sister venue in Covent Garden. NB tips on credit cards attract an 8% deduction – so pay cash tips! Alcohol is not available before 10am Monday to Saturday or noon on Sunday. |
| Kings Arms | 2 Shepherd Market London W1J 7QA | Pub with a curved frontage and a more conventional decor, having rid itself of its old English spit and sawdust layout. There is a first floor bar by, way of a curved staircase, which can be hired for functions. First licensed in 1742 and called the Three Jolly Butchers until 1785. The present pub dates from 1967. A Lilley’s cider occupied the remaining handpump. |
| Market Tavern | 7 Shepherd Street London W1J 7HR | Rather gastropubby, and seems very busy most of the time, even mid-afternoon. A fairly small u-shaped bar downstairs so a lot of standers both inside and outside, and a lounge upstairs. Four real ales often including some unusual ones. The food offering is reasonably priced for the area and includes bar snacks, a main menu which includes pub favourites, and Sunday roasts. Since its last refurb and reopening, the pub makes efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by working closely with charities such as FareShare (which helps reduce food waste) and the Zero Carbon Forum. |
| Punch Bowl | 41 Farm Street London W1J 5RU | Grade II listed upmarket gastropub in an upmarket area but with a warm welcome. Dating from 1729, licensed in 1786 and rebuilt in 1792 after a fire, it served as a magistrates’ court in its early days and was later home to the last public bar in Mayfair, alas no more. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was a favourite haunt of the servants employed by the large houses in Grosvenor Square. Its wartime appearance was featured in the “Roll out the Barrel” DVD of pub shorts. Ground-floor bar, first-floor restaurant and second-floor Club private dining room. |
| Royal Air Force Club | 128 Piccadilly London W1J 7PY | The club was founded in 1918 and the present clubhouse, situated very near Hyde Park Corner, was opened in 1922. Membership is primarily for past and present commissioned officers of the RAF and its associated nursing and reserve forces, plus those from Commonwealth and other friendly air forces. The building contains an extensive collection of aviation-themed paintings and memorabilia; note particularly the arched and vaulted corridor with its framed squadron badges, the paintings of flying Hurricanes and Spitfires, and the marvellous stained glass window. Whilst the ground and first floor restaurants, bars (most with keg draught beer, but none with real ale) and function rooms retain much of their original appearance, the basement is completely contemporary. It houses the Running Horse Tavern, named after an eighteenth century pub which once occupied the site, a small room, decorated in mock-Tudor style and divided into booths. As well as several keg beers and a changing real ale, the permanent cask beer offered is, appropriately, Shepherd Neame’s Spitfire! A short menu offers pub grub at modest prices. Opening hours etc shown above relate to this bar alone. Please note that entry to the club – and therefore to the Running Horse Tavern – is restricted to its members and their guests. |
