Decent Boozer in SK Shock! 26th August 2008

South Kensington is a bit of a dive for decent drinking holes for those not trying to burn a hole in their trust funds or get a quiet pint away from the throngs by the tube.

The Queens Arms though, is somewhat of novelty. Fairly quiet (out of term time that is from nearby Imperial College), decent selection of beers and excellent gastro-pub grub. The decor is nicely understated and smart without being exclusive. Quite good too if you're off to a concert at the Albert Hall and fancy a cheeky pint beforehand without the maddening crowds in the RAH bars. Also notable because it's one of the few places in Zone 1 that serve a good traditional Sunday roast dinner...

Great pub when not overrun with students 30th January 2008

The Queens Arms is a stones throw from Imperial College and despite the booze being 50% more than at the student union it is always nearly packed. I usually frequent this charming little boozer on a weekly basis on Fridays when we are all unwinding from a weeks' work. Our usual tipple is a bottle of Processco which is only £15 - compared to £20 at the Prince Regent down the road). On Fridays it is impossible to get a seat and hear yourself think, as it is absolutely rammed with the after work crowd. However, visit this pub in the week days at about noon and it is lovely and relaxing. I guess it would be too on the weekend when its a good time to try out their various board games. recently they installed a new menu and its great. It's pub food but at a decent price and good quality grub at that. Fish and Chips come in at about £7 and risotto which is absolutely divine comes in at the same price. They also do burgers, sandwiches, soup and pasta and from what I can tell they look good too.
