About Zetland Arms
A no-nonsense Victorian corner pub on Bute Street, a short walk from the V&A and Natural History Museum, popular for sport and Sunday roasts.
Built in 1846, the Zetland Arms is exactly the kind of solid, unpretentious local that South Kensington's grander streets can lack: a proper corner pub with a garden, sports screens and a menu that doesn't try too hard. Its position just around the corner from South Kensington tube and a short walk from the museum quarter makes it a handy stop for visitors, though its bread and butter is the steady trade of local residents and students.
On tap
Cask ale and a straightforward wine and spirits list.
Food
Traditional pub food including a well-regarded Sunday roast.
