Step in to discover a traditional pub of unique character, revered for its eclectic range of real ales and its quality pub food, which are served, as they should be, with a generous measure of famous British hospitality.
Our pub is a favourite among journalists and historic front pages adorn some of our walls. The name Elephant and Castle may derive from a connection to Catherine of Aragon, whose title of 'Infanta de Castille y Aragon' could have been anglicised. Alternatively, it may be linked to the Cutlers' company of the City of London whose emblem is a war elephant with a howdah on its back.
One of a kind

Good Nicholson's pub in a quiet location about 5 minutes walk from High Street Kensington tube station. Four cask beers on handpump when I visited. A few tables outside some of them covered.
This was the best Sunday roast that I've had in a long time. The staff was so friendly and the food came out quite fast. It is a small pub so it's best to reserve on a Sunday. The pub is dog friendly and has a couple of tables outside for smokers. It was a very pleasant experience.
Great neighborhood pub! Fantastic fish and chips! Wonderful atmosphere - highly recommend.
Located a few blocks away from the Kensington high Street, this beautiful classical is in a quiet residential neighborhood. So although there is outside seating, there it's no drinking allowed outside after 10pm. It was quite busy when I was there. I did not try any food, but they had a great selection of English and imported draught beers. The staff were very friendly.
Great place to pop in with friends for a drink and pub food. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is great.
