Nag's Head, Belgravia, London

I generally agree with the prior reviews. This is what a pub should be (and the “no mobile telephones” policy helps). I had an Adnams Broadside…..

.....followed by an Adnams Bitter…..

Both were very nice (3.50 GBP each), showing that this real pub knows how to properly keep real ales.

I was there on Sunday, 9th March 2009 and I found it very quiet at around 4:30 pm, picking up just a bit by 5:30.

This is what I would term a traditional watering hole. I arrived here for after work drinks on a Friday evening and I was the only woman in there. There were lots of blokes … drinking.

It’s quite small but after 15 minutes or so we managed to secure a table. It seems to be a pub that people visit on their way to somewhere else.

Loved the assorted paraphernalia that adorns the walls. There doesn’t seem to be a common theme. In one corner there were old skis and skates. Another wall has a couple of those cane poles that are used for beating rugs.

The No Mobile Phones rule is enforced. A lady walked in while on her phone and was told firmly that she could not use her phone in the pub. You have been warned.

This pub is the perfect place to take someone to if they are looking to drink in a real English pub.

A very nice little pub in Belgravia. Friendly bar staff serve a good selection of real ales from a sunken bar in this quite pokey pub. Lots of space outside and it’s on a very pretty, quiet street. The neighbours must get angry with the noise from the pub around closing time! Haven’t tried the food yet, but i’m told it’s good.

Recommended. I will be going back!

Nice little backstreet pub, only a few steps - but a world away - from the bustle of Knightsbridge.

It’s very small inside with only room for a dozen people or so in the first upper room (and only then if half of them are standing), though the lower room (reached by steps to the left of the bar) has tables that can hold about as many again sitting.

There’s a bit of space on the pavement outside, but because it’s quiet and residential you usually just get crowds of people standing in the street with their pints.

It’s very much a small independently owned and operated pub. No fruit machines here, no modern furnishings. They’ve got a couple Adnam’s brews and a few other ales. The atmosphere’s very relaxed, cosy, and neighbourly.

I like this pub and the nearby Grenadier best in this area.
