5/5 London Pub M. 1 year ago on Google
🚇 High
Street
Kensington
🍺 £6.30
Estrella
❤️
The
oldest
pub
on
Kensington
High
Street.
.
This
pub
is
located
on
busy
Kensington
High
Street
and
is
just
a
stone’s
throw
away
from
Kensington
palace.
High
Street
Kensington
tube
station
is
a
five
minute
walk
away.
.
The
Goat
Tavern
started
life
as
a
coffee
shop
back
in
1695
and
developed
in
to
a
pub
a
few
years
later,
this
was
due
to
William
III
building
Kensington
Palace
and
needing
somewhere
for
his
minions
to
swill
some
ale.
This
pub
also
has
a
darker
story
to
tell,
in
1944
John
Haigh
“The
Acid
Bath
Murderer”
met
his
first
victim
here,
he
later
went
on
to
murder
eight
more
victims
disposing
of
all
their
bodies
in
sulphuric
acid
😳.
.
Today
this
pub
is
dwarfed
by
the
surrounding
buildings
and
looks
somewhat
underwhelming.
This
is
a
Greene
King
pub
which
has
their
green
and
gold
signage
above
the
door
which
for
me
looks
horrendous
and
not
in
keeping
with
the
building.
.
The
internal
decor
here
is
traditional
which
creates
an
old
world
ambiance
to
the
place.
There
are
lots
of
comfy
sofa
benches,
dark
wood
panelling
throughout
and
proper
pub
carpet
at
either
end
of
the
bar.
.
The
beer
choice
was
full
of
familiar
favourites
including
some
cask
ales.
I
decided
on
a
pint
of
Estrella,
my
pint
was
great
and
cost
just
over
six
quid.
There
is
food
available
here
which
is
mainly
pub
classics,
fish
&
chips
costs
£16.49.
.
The
service
was
top
notch,
the
fella
who
served
me
was
welcoming
and
chatty.
The
pub
was
fairly
busy
and
the
atmosphere
was
relaxed.
There
were
a
number
of
tourists
in
attendance
from
across
Europe,
America
and
China
all
enjoying
ye
olde
pint
in
ye
olde
pub,
or
so
they’ll
tell.
.
The
@thegoat_kensington
has
good
beer,
great
service,
a
nice
atmosphere
and
I
loved
the
decor
but
please
@greeneking_official
change
the
external
signage
🙏🏻.
