An
exquisite
pub
with
London
folklore
attached.
.
The
Star
Tavern
is
located
on
an
idyllic
mews
in
swish
Belgravia.
The
nearest
Tube
is
Knightsbridge
which
is
a
gentle
five
minute
walk
away.
.
This
striking
Victorian
building
was
built
in
1848
and
has
been
a
bolt
hole
for
some
famous
and
infamous
punters
over
the
years.
The
Star
is
infamous
for
being
the
place
where
the
Great
Train
Robbery
was
planned,
it
was
masterminded
by
Bruce
Reynolds
and
carried
out
in
1963.
This
pub’s
heyday
was
in
the
50’s
&
60’s,
celebrities
who
frequented
The
Star
include
Bing
Crosby,
Princess
Margaret,
Peter
O’Toole
and
Diana
Dors.
.
The
decor
here
is
traditional,
there
are
wooden
floors,
shabby
furnishings
and
memorabilia-covered
walls
which
give
this
boozer
a
proper
London
pub
feel.
On
the
right
as
you
walk
in
is
the
small
but
perfectly
formed
servery
and
on
the
left
is
a
good
sized
bar
which
has
a
ample
seating
and
a
unique
feel
to
it.
Upstairs
is
an
additional
bar
which
is
where
it
is
said
the
planning
for
the
great
train
robbery
took
place.
.
This
@fullers
pub
has
an
excellent
beer
choice,
it’s
in
fact
so
good
that
this
pub
has
featured
in
the
good
beer
guide
for
fifty
years.
Being
the
uncultured
swine
that
I
am,
I
decided
on
a
pint
of
Asahi.
My
pint
was
top
drawer
if
a
little
pricey.
Fullers
do
pub
grub
very
well,
the
food
menu
here
has
lots
of
traditional
fayre,
fish
and
chips
will
set
you
back
£17.95.
.
I
arrived
just
after
the
pub
opened
with
my
Brother
and
Nephew,
we
ordered
our
beers
and
took
a
seat
at
the
far
end
of
the
bar.
We
were
all
in
agreement
how
impressed
by
the
look
and
feel
of
this
boozer.
Just
after
we
had
our
first
sups
a
large
group
of
senior
gentleman
arrived
and
the
atmosphere
was
elevated
and
upbeat.
The
service
was
good,
we
were
served
by
a
nice
chap
behind
the
bar
who
was
very
welcoming
.
.
@thestartavern
is
yet
another
outstanding
pub
that
calls
Belgravia
its
home.
The
mews
setting,
the
fabulous
decor
and
architecture,
and
who
doesn’t
love
a
story
about
a
bit
of
London
skullduggery,
its
all
here.
