The Districts Pubs of Chelsea
& Brompton
Walking down King’s Road from
The Pubs
The coordinates [123 A1] locate the area in the Geographer's AZ London Street Atlas, the small book. That is page 123 and grid A1.
Admiral Codrington Brompton [144 D8]
Australian (Nicholson's) Brompton [144 E8]
Phone 020 7589-6027
This is a nicely appointed pub with a sporty look to it. That is if you like Cricket. The pub sports a few game machines, but this looks like a fine place for ladies and gents.
Blenheim Chelsea [76 C5]
Bunch of Grapes (formerly Chef & Brewer) Brompton
[144 D7]
This is a fine pub indeed. Well built and well staffed it is an attraction in itself. It lays half way between the museums and Harrods and should be on your hot list of places to go. A trap door from behind the bar leads to the basement for the staff.

Green Man Pub Knightsbridge/Brompton [144 E6]
Harrods Department Store SW3
Knightsbridge station
The Green Man is everything you would expect in a quaint English pub. Rich wood paneling, several hand pumps with some of Briton's best ales. Unfortunately you need a king's salary to buy a beer.

worth the walk down
Man in the Moon Chelsea (S&N)

Queen's Arms (Charles Wells) Brompton [144 D8]
Queens Head
Tyron SW3 at
Their web-site, queensheads.net has closed and the domain is for sale (Nov. 2004)
Two bar pub with separate entrances. The corner door opens to a small saloon bar whereas the side door opens to a lounge bar. Judging from what I saw I think this was a gay bar but well received by everyone on Sunday afternoon, Jan 2003.
Trafalgar Chelsea [76 E5] Formerly The Lord Nelson
200 King’s Road SW3 at
This is a well known pub as it is a very large and accommodating place. It is very active, even during the day. Quite the place to be for a game.
Nice looking corner pub.
