A spirited Victorian pub retreat where locals gather around the horseshoe bar before slipping out to olive-tree-shaded garden courtyards.
“Victorian gastropub retreat”
Four bespoke bedrooms dressed in Robert Kime wallpapers, Bert & May tiles, and freestanding roll-top baths.
A bustling ground-floor horseshoe bar and Jinny Blom courtyard terraces serving raw oysters and seasonal pints.
A restored Victorian pub retaining uncovered period mosaic entryway tiling beneath four individually styled boutique rooms.
On Hereford Road just off Westbourne Grove, a short walk from Portobello Road Market.
Rooms
Four upstairs bedrooms pair Robert Kime wallpapers and Bert & May tiles with deep roll-top bathtubs and vintage Roberts radios.
Backstory
Cubitt House revived the historic Victorian pub in 2022, uncovering original period mosaic entrance tiling hidden beneath previous tenants.
Eat & drink
Chef Ben Tish delivers wood-fired Mediterranean plates and raw bar crudo, served in a light-flooded brick conservatory and heated garden terraces.
The neighborhood
Tucked along Hereford Road just off Westbourne Grove, you are a ten-minute stroll from Portobello Road Market and leafy residential mews.
