It's ten years old and still the only Michelin starred pub in London. We visited the Harwood Arms to try its special anniversary menu.

It's not easy finding the perfect local in London. You have to kiss a lot of frogs (or drink a lot of duff pints) before you discover the one for you. So imagine the dismay for South Londoners to read yesterday that one of their favourite pubs is closing.

The Palmerston in East Dulwich took everyone by surprise when it posted on Instagram to say that they'd be closing up shop in June.

Eight London pubs made the 2019 50 Best Gastropubs list - here's why.

Who doesn't like a David against Goliath story? And you couldn't find a better one than the one featuring the indie Camden pub The Golden Lion up against the evil pub closing developer - as so brilliantly chronicled in long form by the Guardian here. 

Now, several years on from winning their

It's always nice when an overhaul of a lovely old pub manages to retain its character while bringing new talents to the table - we went to check out The Cleveland Arms in Paddington.

What: The Eagle

In a nutshell: Traditional beer and British-Bavarian pub food in Notting Hill

Summing it all up: Notting Hill’s newest refurbished pub will have unpasteurised beer served straight from the tank, and a menu packed with Bavarian dishes which should go down a treat with the intense flavours of the beer.

Down in Deptford the food scene is going great guns - and now there's a cracking new gastropub to entice locals. The Brookmill, which opens just after the August bank holiday, is the sister pub to The Great North Wood.

For a gastropub its foodie credentials are impeccable with the kitchen headed up by chef Olly Marlowe who was previously sous chef at the Michelin-starred The Glasshouse and Chez Bruce.

Olly's menu sounds pretty amazing with sample dishes

We hear that Michelin-starred chef and his brother, Cedric, have just bought a new pub. They're take over the Swan Inn in Esher which will be welcome news, we expect, for the locals.

Head chef will Justin West, who has previously worked with Claude while the pub manager will be Joseph Hendriks who was at the brothers' previous west London pub, The Fox & Grapes in Wimbledon Village.

The food sounds pretty lovely;

The London pubs are as follows:

• 7. Harwood Arms, Fulham

• 19. Anchor and Hope,

Kentish Town is about to get a new pub. Well actually it's an old pub, given a new look, but an old name. Confused? Let us enlighten you.

What was most recently The Bluebell and before that The Westport Inn on Malden Road, was for years before that known as The Gipsy Queen. Now the couple who run popular nearby gastropub The Grafton, Susie Clarke and Joel Czopor, have taken it over and are planning to reopen it at the end of June. And they're giving it back its
