Excellent food and a nice selection of beers. Perfect for a weeknight dinner. Service was good too!

A lovely, traditional, old English Pub! Great variety and terrific staff to serve it all - a real find! Highly recommended.

This pub is in the suburban heart of Kensington. The staff are polite and efficient and the food is of good quality. There is plenty of local history here. Much of it over the walls.

A nice quiet place away from the main drag.

I loved this place after our first visit so we thought why not spending our Sunday lunch here again. But we were left disappointed.

We were blown away by their fall out of bone lamb leg the first time so of course we are going to order again. Not only did the cut have changed, the taste has as well. It is dried but fatty - I did not enjoyed it. However their Yorkshire pudding is still very yummy

We also ordered two pints as we sat down and the staff was so kind to offer us a taster. There might have been an misunderstanding on what we want - the staff wrote down the wrong one. when it’s delivered by the other staff, we politely said that it’s not what we wanted only for him to tell us “well that’s whats written on my paper.” Of course he had to go check with the staff that made the order and after we confirmed it, she has gotten the right one. On our first visit, the staff (we believe she’s might be an owner) noticed that she got us the wrong one before even delivering it to our table, she go ahead and offer us the wrong one for free.

Big difference on both times. Mistakes happens but the attitude makes a big difference.

This place has normal food and good service but great atmosphere. The perfect music for drinking a pint as well as the friendly staff makes this place a hot spot for a night out with the mates so i definitely recommend this place for any pub lover.

This became our favorite pub in London. We ended up eating here three times. First on Valentines Day, a later dinner in the week, and lastly a proper Sunday Roast. The atmosphere and service are fantastic, while the food is not just perfectly cooked, but perfectly seasoned. I had my first steak and ale pie and it was incredible. I had it again another night. The Sunday Roast was exquisite and filling. The lamb roast was cooked better than we've ever had it in the states. Their quality meats really shine here. We will miss this pub and it has set the bar high for us throughout the UK.

My visit to The Scarsdale Tavern in London was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my trip. Tucked away in Edwardes Square, this pub is a hidden gem, offering an authentic London pub experience that often goes unnoticed by tourists.

The ambiance at The Scarsdale Tavern is cozy and welcoming, a perfect reflection of traditional British hospitality. Charming flowers adorn the pub, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's an ideal spot to meet friends or make new acquaintances, all while soaking in the quintessential London vibe.

The food here is exceptional, with the Sunday roast truly standing out. I opted for the lamb, which was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. The fish and chips, another classic, did not disappoint either, offering a crispy, golden batter and succulent fish. And for those seeking a hearty meal, the steak pie is an absolute must-try.

A special mention must be made of their Bloody Marys, which were some of the best I've ever had. They perfectly complemented the meals and added an extra zest to the dining experience.

What sets The Scarsdale Tavern apart is its location in a residential area, providing a peaceful escape from the bustling city streets. It's a place where you can unwind, enjoy a good book, and fully immerse yourself in the local culture.

The Scarsdale Tavern is an incredible destination for anyone seeking an authentic London pub experience. With its cozy atmosphere, delectable food, and picturesque setting, it's truly a must-visit spot. I wholeheartedly give it 5 out of 5 stars!
