The rooms worth crossing London for: the interiors CAMRA lists, the last galleried coaching inn, the pubs where something documented happened, and the ones that do one thing better than anyone. Filter by kind, or by what's open now.
A mews pub up a Belgravia cul-de-sac, with banknotes on the ceiling and a ghost story that belongs to another building.
Historic interior
Built in 1843 as the New Grenadier and renamed in 1885, it stands in a cobbled cul-de-sac behind Belgrave Square and is hard to find on purpose. Two doors survive from when there were two classes of drinker; two rooms at the back are kept for eating. The ceiling is papered with banknotes from everywhere, and the sentry box outside is modern.
You will be told that Wellington's officers were billeted here and that a card cheat beaten to death in the cellar still walks. CAMRA is blunt about it: both stories belong to an earlier Horse Grenadier tavern that stood to the north and closed by the 1830s, before this building existed.
One thing that did happen here: the Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition set off from the door on 1 September 1955 to drive to Singapore. Belgravia prices.
