Address

119 Kensington Church Street, London W8 7LN

One of London's most photographed pubs, its front buried in flower baskets. Built in 1750, it's named for Churchill because his grandparents drank here. In winter it changes into a full Christmas outfit of trees and lights. The twist: a Thai kitchen in the back conservatory has been cooking for over 35 years, so plenty of people pair a pint with Thai noodles or curry.
