The Champion Bayswater Road

Description

Looking for a relaxed, affordable pub in the heart of Notting Hill? Look no further!

Formerly one of London’s iconic gay pubs, The Champion occupies a prime spot close to Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, and Portobello Market. 

Tucked away at the back of the pub, the hidden courtyard beer garden provides a relaxed urban oasis that’s incredibly popular during the summer months, while the traditional interiors create a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. 

If you’re looking for a bite to eat, you’ll find a menu full of tasty, classic British dishes, while the bar is always well stocked with craft beers, wines, and artisan spirits. 

Queen and The Clash were once regulars at this fine drinking hole!
