“Had a lovley time on Saturday here unfortunately the kareoke is not on but the landlord played any music we requested and gave us free shots the staff were warm and welcoming and will definitely be going back thanks to all wirking we were truly looked after”

“Food and service was amazing! Francisco is the best host in the world. He made us feel so welcome! I would give 10 stars if I could!!!! Can’t decide on my favorite dish. If you are looking for an authentic British pub in London, this is it!”

“Fantastic pub with excellent service. The staff are attentive, friendly, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. Drinks are served quickly, and the place is always clean and well-kept. Really impressed with the overall atmosphere and the professionalism of the team. Definitely one of the best pubs to unwind and enjoy a good time. Highly recommend”

“A neighbourhood local irish pub thats open till 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. Service is very friendly and attentive. The place is a cute mix of traditional pub with a flaire. They serve Guinness, kronnenburgh, rekorderling, prosecco, wines and all the usual drinks of a pub.”

“Amazing customer service and security from Simmone, Jay Ivano and Kaleb. 10/10 atmosphere would 100% recommend this place to spend your evening!!”

“This is my local, so I’ve been going here a while but had to to leave a review after I finally tried the roast. Best roast in South hands down. Harry the bartender is a top character!”

“Came to the pub on Sunday to have some “pub tapas” picky bits and drinks. We have a lovely Camembert- gooey and garlicky! Fantastic. A nice touch was also the chef Harry came out to check everything was ok with our food and was super friendly”

“Nice pub close to Selhurst park. Good food nice and friendly reasonably priced drinks with a wide variety. Plenty of places to sit and have a chat and a pre match pint or two”

“We had our wedding toast at The Leeman Street Tavern after our church wedding, and it was absolutely perfect! The drinks were fantastic, the food was amazing, and the service couldn’t have been better,everyone was so friendly and attentive, making the occasion feel really special. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant, exactly what we were hoping for. We can’t recommend The Leeman Street Tavern highly enough.. a wonderful spot for any celebration or just a great meal in London”

“Proper locals boozer. Great selection of drinks at affordable prices. Top service from the friendly staff”

“We were looking for a close-by pub with good food, and we weren't disappointed. We had the cheeseburger and the pork ribs, both excellent. The portions were large and the service was quick. The menu is small enough to streamline the service but with plenty of choices for various tastes and preferences. Being there on a Thursday evening also meant that we avoided the weekend rush, although the pub was busy enough.”

“Excellent service and atmosphere created by the valued staff! From a quick pint on the way home or a cocktail on the weekend all done with a smile and a laugh. Charlie sets the example of outstanding customer service. Nothing is ever to much. If he can do anything from entertaining your children to watering your pooch. If it’s bringing a drink to your table or a full on three course meal, nothing is ever to much!! Keep up the good work!!!”

“Update 03/09/2025: GOOD NEWS I talked to the manager, and there's still lunchtime deals (£12.50 now but still reasonable) and Hepcat is ”

“Great old stool boozer, they have a venue for hire out back which is excellent for parties with very generous grounds around it.”

“Called in on the off chance looking for food (staying at the Dagenham East Travelodge) and we were most impressed with the curry dishes on the menu. Food was served nice and hot. Curry and rice cooked to perfection and the service was lovely”

“Came in to watch the Euros final - very busy, but was able to reserve a table on the day thanks to the incredibly helpful staff. Incredible atmosphere, with a wealth of historical features. Staff went above and beyond; really fast service despite how busy it was. Excellent range of beers on tap, and very reasonable prices. Can’t wait to visit again.”

“The new manager has made a huge improvement. Service with a smile and really amazing food. Will be coming back for the live music on Sunday.”

“Top venue, street party’s are firmly back on the map!”

“Best place ever. Their kitchen is on point with the daily board and I love the people there. One of my fav places to hang.”

“Pauly and the staff at the Midday Sun were very welcoming, totally professional and friendly, with smiling faces. The guide price spent pp below included two bottles of wine! Great value and the best Sunday roast I’ve had in ages. Couldn’t fault any of it! Thanks guys”

“I love this place! Keep coming back! The food is great! The staff are great! Amazing vibes and always worth a visit. Playing hot sauce roulette with the wall is a highlight. This is a Soho institution.”

“I had probably the best Negroni I’ve ever had in this wonderful restaurant. Food, drink, service all incredible. This is my new second home.”

“Went for Sunday Roast today. Had the roast beef which was fantastic as were all the trimmings. Our server, Olivia, was first class, polite, attentive, knowledgeable and very welcoming - nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend”

“Visited this pub after the Womens Rugby World Cup Final and despite being understandably very busy the service and the staff were brilliant, can't fault anything about the Admiral Nelson, would deffo recommend 100% whether you're visiting Twickers or not”

“This is one of those pubs I've always wanted to go into but never quite plucked the courage to do so. Then once you're in, you wonder why you took so long. Tucked away behind a row of barbers, banks and takeaways, it survived the history destroying ring road creation that encases Kingston. It sticks out despite being hidden, as a building that doesn't quite belong in this part of town. The saloon type doors give way to the bar, a TV on opposite sides of the wall, there's a symmetry to the place, and you're spoiled for choice for where to go. You could people-watch at the right side, a prime spot, quite literally watching the world go by. Or you can go to the left, a favoured position of the locals, presumably due to the proximity to the jukebox, slot machine, toilets and "terrace". I perched on the corner of the bar, couple of pints of Fosters. Cash accepted, both pints south of a fiver. Unfortunately I'd missed the cut off for the sandwiches, genuinely gutted, few places offer this fine line between "pub snack" and "pub food". Intrigued by the need to specify the quality of the 50/50 bread. Sausage and onions will be the priority next time. They show all the football here, a worthy escape from the town centre to sneak in part or all of a game. That being said, I'd probably make a point of coming here specifically for the game. The pints are cheap, the staff are friendly, it's spacious and quiet. It has a predictability to it, a calmness, depending on your objective - whether it's many pints or recovery mode, this place could tick both boxes. Pubs like this are a dying breed, this one has even been knocked down and rebuilt further back (c.1950), had it not, the ringroad would've obliterated it. As so much of Kingston's history gets sold off to make luxury flats and questionably affordable housing, I don't think we'd ever get a say in the matter if this were to go. But I'm glad I've been now, and I'm looking forward to going back.”

“The service was spectacular. The person working on Sunday the 9th of November was really helpful and kind. The food was tasty and the pub overall really cosy.”

“Nice little boozer, friendly and polite staff and the cloudy apple Strongbow is perfect. Clean toilets, children and dog friendly. They serve a huge range of food at lunchtime which you order from the small cafe situated in the carpark. The cafe staff bring it over to you. And the food is outstanding. My only criticism is, it doesn't open until 12 noon. 11am would be better. I've used this pub a few times now. And I will definitely use it again. Nice friendly customers, sky sports, pool table and dart board.”

“Spot on. Main meal and desert were just great. Good atmosphere. Sport on the screens for those that want it (not me) but background music playing even while a quiz was going on (just how I like it) friendly staff. 10 out of 10.”

“We had a fantastic time at your pub during our visit to London! I was so thrilled to find out you had gluten-free fish and chips! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and very enjoyable food!”
