A proper Chelsea pub on Selwood Terrace, where Charles Dickens once lived at no. 11. The interior retains genuine Victorian character, dark wood, etched glass, fireplaces. The beer is well-kept, the wine list is surprisingly good, and the pub food is a step above average. The pavement tables are prime for people-watching on warm evenings. One of Chelsea's most atmospheric traditional pubs.

One of London's original gastropubs. The beer garden is a sun trap
