The Britannia Kensington is a traditional pub at 1 Allen Street, close to High Street Kensington station and Hyde Park. Its lively but welcoming interior brings together local regulars, shoppers and visitors for a relaxed pint, lunch or full evening meal.
The kitchen uses seasonal British ingredients across familiar pub cooking and changing specials. Cider battered fish and chips, an ale and steak pie, a short rib and brisket burger and Caesar salad sit alongside more seasonal combinations of meat, fish and vegetables.
Smaller plates and sharing boards make it easy to build a lighter meal, with hummus, burrata, smoked salmon and a traditional ploughman’s among the current styles. Sundays are reserved for roasts with crisp potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
Craft ales, well poured pints, wine and spritzes complement the food and reinforce the feel of a classic London pub. Plant based choices are available, and guests with allergies should tell the team before ordering because menus and seasonal recipes change.
Address: 1 Allen Street, Kensington, London W8 6UX, England
