This is a neighbourhood hangout at its best. Combining oysters and Guinness is an old trick, but Tom Conran’s pub never loses its charm. Its reputation for having some of the best sea food around means there is always a lot going on in a very small space. Get yourself seated at one of the cute red tables and order yourself some of the black stuff to sip on. The crowd is a lovely bunch of locals: Notting Hill beauties and daily boozers who’ve been coming here a while.

If you’re not into their specialty oysters, then get yourself an equally perfect pint of prawns to share. Booze wise they have a range of spirits for whatever you’re into but don’t expect any over creative creations, their thing is the beer and Guinness so we stay stick to that. The tunes are good and when the weekend rolls around this is a great spot to soak up some Black Velvet and people watch.

Oh and there is a restaurant upstairs if you fancy something special!
