Hereford Arms

Step into The Hereford Arms, Kensington’s Victorian charmer where history, hearty food, and a great pint come together in perfect harmony. With its rustic wooden interior, quirky mismatched furniture, and playful touches—like the grand glass table packed with beer bottle caps—this pub is full of character and surprises. Don’t miss Hitchcock Corner, a cosy nook decked out with iconic film posters, perfect for private gatherings or just a chill spot to sip a drink.

Foodies, rejoice! The Hereford Arms serves an all-day menu of freshly cooked British classics, from snacks and nibbles to our legendary fish and chips—made with top-quality Hereford meats and fresh ingredients. Whether you’re tucking into a hearty lunch in our special dining area or enjoying a casual bite at the bar, every dish promises generous portions and great value.

The drinks list is just as impressive, with a carefully curated selection of cask ales, seasonal and guest beers, fine wines, whiskies, spirits, lagers, and ciders. With a chilled-out vibe and welcoming evening ambience, it’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at home.

History buffs will love the stories behind The Hereford Arms. This Victorian gem has long been whispered about as a drinking haunt of the infamous Jack the Ripper (unconfirmed, of course), and was famously connected to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who named Sherlock Holmes after a nearby block of flats. During the First World War, American servicemen made Hereford Square into a baseball diamond, turning this iconic spot into a hub of camaraderie and lively games.

Whether you’re after a classic British meal, a riverside pint (well, Kensington-side pint!), or a spot steeped in intriguing history, The Hereford Arms is a must-visit for locals and visitors alike—where every visit feels like stepping into a story.
