The Builders Arms

Description

One of Kensington’s most established pubs, The Builder’s Arms provides the perfect, traditional setting for a spot of lunch or an after-work drink, just a short walk from Kensington High Street. 

The stunning building retains many of its original Georgian features, including wood panelling and a cosy open fire, while the patio terrace is ideal for a sun-kissed drink or an alfresco bite to eat, especially when the sun starts to shine in the city.

Behind the bar there’s an impressive choice of top-drawer drinks including premium craft beers, a great selection of wines, and artisan spirits for whatever the occasion. And, when it comes to food, the menu offers plenty of classic British mains and pub grub, as well as sharing dishes, not forgetting their famous roasts every Sunday.

Looking to host a private event? The Builder's Arms also has a upstairs room which includes a bartender. There is also a TV which can be used for meetings
