Belgravia Pubs

That kerbside marking is a datum point. I think that they are checked and rechecked by surveyors to ensure accurate recording of levels for future reference.

Your vids are great , thank you I’ve watched them all
One after the other lol 👍

I think you will find the Grenadier was not a Fullers pub in the least in last twenty five years to my knowledge, but has stocked a Fullers beer before the GK take over 🤗🤗

I'm bingeing on these vids now. Your description of the gastro pubs inhabiting the carcass of dead pubs was a perfect analogy. Is the Chelsea Potter still on the Kings Road do you know? I am from Newcastle but used to live in London in the late 80s and my first job was working in the Sacha shoe shop along from the CP on the other side of the road and we would go there after work. Happy times.

Thanks for that information I enjoyed it

Another trip down memory lane for me. I spent two years working in offices above the Victoria Coach Station and discovered all these gems. I remember the Irish landlord of The Nag's Head and how he did not like pretentious people in his pub. He served a lovely pint of Adnam's Broadside which is a favourite of mine. In the early 90's Nigel Davenport was a lunchtime regular as he lived just down the road. I purposely pretended not to recognise him as I'm sure he would not have appreciated it. I share your dislike of Gastro bars...they 're not pubs anymore as your perfect definition makes clear.

My dad worked for many years in Belgrave Square so nice reminder for me. Thank you. He used to talk about The Plumber's Arms where Lord Lucan's wife ran into after discovering the murdered nanny. Interesting aside also is that Kinnerton Street is where Ghislaine Maxwell had her mews house where the notorious photo of Prince Andrew with Virginia Giuffre was taken.

Another very interesting pub crawl 🍻

I live in Southern Portugal, and love going to the old British pubs when I visit the UK 🍺🍺👍👍

I've decided to add this to my may itinerary because of this video.🧔🏻👍🏻

I've been binging all your videos and have really been enjoying your pub vids. We seem to have similar taste in pubs. The Antelope is one of my London favs.
Anyway, your points about Belgravia being surprisingly good for 'pubby pubs' despite the fact that your average millionaire would have no interest in pubs are things I agree with. A weird dichotomy there that doesn't make much sense.
Someone already mentioned the Ghislaine Maxwell connection on Kinnerton ST. but did you know you actually filmed her former house in your video as it's the one right across from the pub, number 44. Cheers!

New sub, love that quote re gastro pubs 👏

“Gastro pubs are a parasite entity that is inhabiting the carcass of a dead pub. They are not a pub!”
Well said sir 👏👏👍😀
The mews pubs of Belgravia have a village feel. Hidden gems 👌

Not tedious at all 😊

Inane babble and talk about tedious banal work lives! The absolute worst conversations to have to hear when you're trying ot enjoy a pint.

The government broad arrow (same as the convicts and all government property) is for surveying in this case.

08.48 right opposite the pub is number 44, Ghislaine Maxwell's former house.......

You were as grumpy as me in this one. People can be a problem at times 😊.

Ye Old Mitre rules! I really don't know why anyone would live in Belgravia in small converted stables. Weird.

Having a chat about the tedious days work is what pubs are for that and a pint .

Classic line about gastro pubs!

You're friend is so cool too

I know of a tiny pub in this area, called The Fox and Hounds in Passmore St SW1, a very nice pub.

Does anyone know when the Star tavern was founded?
Has it had any other names?

How many times can you say um ?

Actually millionaires and billionaires do go to pubs because the Ineos chemical company billionaire started another company making modern versions of the Land Rover Defender and named the company Grenadier after the pub where he got the idea for the vehicle.

I think the chap taking an interest in your filming as you walk along Groom Place is Tom Aikens, the Michelin star chef (he was a Great British Menu chef some years ago). He has a restaurant, called Muse, very near there.

Plumber's Arms, Duke of Wellington, Antelope, Star Tavern, Nag's Head, Grenadier, Horse & Groom, Ye Olde Mitre! An embarrassment of riches! Thank you.

Brilliant presentation this earlier video nice chatty style. Am planning a Belgravia pub crawl Tweedy style, with a friend up from Devon.

Kinnerton street famous for Ghislaine Maxwell's house.
