Hansom Cab is a historic Kensington pub at 84–86 Earls Court Road, on the corner of Pembroke Square. The Grade II listed building dates from the nineteenth century and retains an atmospheric collection of dark timber, etched mirrors, cosy drinking areas and a traditional dining room with a fireplace.
The food offering follows the comfortable rhythm of a British neighbourhood pub, beginning with small plates and sharers before moving into familiar main courses. Burgers, pizzas, fish and chips and hearty pies provide substantial choices, while lighter dishes and vegetarian options help groups with different appetites order together.
Sunday brings a traditional roast, pairing roasted meat with the vegetables, potatoes and gravy expected from a classic pub lunch. Bar snacks and casual plates work well for shorter visits, and the dining room gives customers space to settle in for a complete meal away from the busier stretch of Kensington High Street.
Craft beer and cask ale are central to the bar, supported by wine, spirits and cocktails for a broader range of occasions. The distinctive split level rooms and pavement seating give the pub several different moods, whether visitors arrive for a quiet drink, a relaxed meal, live sport or an evening with friends.
