This big, smartly restored 1829 gin palace in deepest Shepherd’s Bush features a horseshoe bar stocking 100 different gins, and a modern gastropub menu appealing to all age groups – “kids love their pizzas and we love their Sunday roasts”.

This “beautifully restored, nearly 200-years-old gin palace” on the Uxbridge Road was named at its 1829 launch after the 10-year-old princess who went on to reign as Queen Victoria. These days it serves “really good pub food”“I’ve never had a bad meal here” – and stocks 100 different gins at its dramatic horseshoe bar. Top Tip – “the pizza and gin-and-tonic lunch offer is a bargain (if a slippery slope)”.

Set a little back from the busy Uxbridge Road, this large Victorian gin palace (est. 1829) retains much of its period grandeur and celebrates its history nowadays by offering over 100 artisan and big-name gins at the bar. Part of the Three Cheers Pub Co, it wins all-round solid ratings, including for its gastropub menu and pizzas (also available to take away).

This “old Victorian gin palace” “must be one of the best pubs in the Bush”, so for locals it has been “wonderful to see the Vic resurrect itself from the ashes of oblivion” (after a short period of closure last year). “The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the food is quite delicious”“proper restaurant quality”; “they’ve recently added a pizza oven, and even the pizzas are a substantial cut above what you might expect”.

"This used to be our local. But when we went back the food was very average and slow and service not good at all. Won’t be returning."
