The Elephant And Castle in Kensington

Oh, what a lovely spot The Elephant and Castle is – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper London hideaway, tucked away in Kensington with its historic walls covered in old front pages and tales of royalty. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the food really steals the show; that Sunday roast is a standout, with tender meats, crispy potatoes, and even options to add extras like Yorkshire puds, which had me wishing I was there myself. The fish and chips and sausages with creamy mash sound utterly delicious too, all done with that homely touch you don't always get these days. The team behind the bar are spot on, always up for a friendly natter and making sure everything runs smoothly. On the flip side, it does tend to fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so you might find yourself jostling for space, and if you're not in the mood for hearty pub staples, the menu might feel a tad limited. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone wanting a taste of traditional British pub life without the fuss – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as it's got that timeless appeal that keeps people coming back for more.
