About The Churchill Arms

London's most flower-covered pub — a Kensington landmark drowning in hundreds of hanging baskets, packed with Churchill memorabilia and serving real ales and authentic Thai food.

Few sights in London beat The Churchill Arms in bloom, its 1750 façade buried under hundreds of hanging baskets and at Christmas a forest of trees and lights — the only pub to win at the Chelsea Flower Show. Once the local of Winston Churchill's grandparents, its dark, memorabilia-crammed interior brims with chamber pots, portraits and history. Since the early 1990s the conservatory has served genuinely excellent Thai curries alongside Fuller's real ales, making this Kensington icon a joyful must-visit.
