To sit in a quiet pub on a pretty street with no TV, no music, no quiz, no loud stupidity, no “children,” the price of a pint is almost no object at this point.

Such charming and elegant pubs. Wonderful traditional streets too. I have learnt about the distinction between public houses and beer houses from Tweedy Pubs. Amazing that one lingered on into the 1990s. I could quite happily spend a day visiting this great run of pubs. Best get saving for The Nag’s Head!

Thanks so much tweedy. My mate Mike who is the landlord of the fox and hounds is glad he’s in the video and he never knew about the history, love your stuff and thanks for covering this part of Belgravia.

If I’m not mistaken, the Grenadier Pub was used in Carol Reed’s great film, “The Fallen Idol”. made in 1948 🤔

I have to say the Nags head looks amazing! That's been added to the "Must visit when in the area" list.

Thank you for this list of fine places, and for the research into their histories. The Fox and Hounds is a fine local. Has been for years, since I first happened upon it in the 1980's. It was still a beer house then.

I was in the Wilton Arms and the Nag's Head less than 2 weeks ago. Nice places!

I am loving these pub videos. I've read that The Grenadier is haunted by the ghost of a soldier who was killed after cheating at cards there. And that it was Madonna's local when she lived in the area.

Cascade hops (and other Pacific NW types), were the foundation of the US Microbrewery Revolution in the early 1980s. They produce a very bitter beer (to compensate for the US not having cask), which confusingly was sometimes described as “grapefruit”. The latest New England IPAs and APAs generally revolve around Mosaic and Citra (not citrus) hops and “mango” might be the word for them. Yes, I like a good pint of Bass too.

The Salisbury in Turnpike Lane is an amazing pub. You should definitely give it a visit. Only trouble it a stand alone outstanding pub in the area. You could include the pubs in Finsbury Park just down road.

Tweedy, of all the videos you’ve created, this is my favorite so far. That’s likely due to the fact that just over a month ago I booked Liquid History tours (stellar, give them a try!) for a private pub tour that began in Belgravia and ended on Fleet Street. Our Belgravia pubs were The Grenadier, The Nag’s Head, and The Star Tavern. At The Grenadier we mostly luxuriated outside in the beautiful weather. At The Star, we occupied the library. Some of the books they have are very impressive indeed. And at The Nag’s Head….we’ll, I’d like to address The Nag’s Head…. Kevin was working the bar alone when we visited. I think it’s safe to say that Kevin is brilliant, but also eccentric and ornery. Do NOT dismiss his signs warning “No Mobile Phones!” Our man Tweedy got one over. Be prepared to pay cash. Kevin was only prepared to pull the payment card reader out for charges in excess of £60 when we visited. And when you order, do it sharpish and step to. Our Kevin does not appreciate indecisiveness. Follow the rules, honor the landlord’s eccentricities, and be rewarded with an excellent old London pub experience. Charm the man himself (no mean feat), and you may be rewarded with a round, smooth copper token to work the viewing machine affixed to the wall which is very much “what the butler saw”, albeit hand-colored images of late Victorian vintage. Cheers, Tweedy! This is a good’un.

Another excellent video, with a lot of well-researched information. Thanks again, Tweedy!

I love walking Belgravia but the only pub I seem to frequent is the Grenadier. I shall start trying some of the others based on your excellent video!

Extra thumbs up for The Star Tavern. I work around the corner and my collegue has been a regular visitor for many many years. He introduced us to the Antelope too. I don't think I've been to the Fox and Hound. Would love to bump into you on one of our pub crawl. Tom (collegue) could tell you great pub stories from the last 60 years.

Thanks Tweedy for another great video! I wish I were in Belgravia right now! Great histories also-we haven't been to the Antelope and Fox and Hounds for some reason, but they are going to be added to the list. You may have seen this, but there is an interesting blog about the Nag's Head: guidetoapub - The story of one of London's jewels (KZfaq doesn't seem to like hyperlinks in the commments). Some interesting history (with pictures) of the Nag's Head before its remodel in the mid 1970s!

Full of enaging interest again Tweedy. Pubs + real ale + historical features = A proper night out!

The handles on the bar front in the Star are known colloquially in the building trade as 'monkey lip' handles which I have always found charming.

Love the Waitrose cut through, exactly what I use to do when I worked round there for 10 years. Re The Star you didn’t mention the big slab of a step outside the entrance… which I have fallen down. The Thomas Crapper is a recent ish refurb (15 years I think). I will be in here Tuesday week !

That's a really cool pub tour. I've walked through this area in the past en route to Hyde Park from Victoria but never stopped at the pubs. All of these pubs seem to have a village feel, despite their location. Thanks for the video!

Happy to get to know your interesting, very-informative videos. Would be great if there is one featuring best pubs for small gathering, e.g., seven or eight people.

I think I may have watched too many of your pub video's, I cannot enter a pub these days without conducting a similar assessment of the various interior features, fixtures and fittings. None of which, I find in my regular haunts are particularly noteworthy !

Thank you for another interesting video! This time an area I'm not familiar with, but look forward to investigating. I like how you described the value of an experience, enjoying somewhere you like to be. I have to agree, it's something beyond just the cost of it.

One area to do: The area between Chiswick and Hammersmith. You’ve done the river, but not the Stamford Brook/Ravenscourt Park (W6) bit

Thank you for yet another excellent pub walk, Tweedy. Watching your videos is a wonderful way to vicariously experience your amazing British pub culture. -And your research into the history of the areas with newspaper clippings and maps is very impressive and enjoyable. Cheers from Norway!

What an excellent selection of pubs, as always very well presented Me Tweed.

Outstanding collection Tweedy. Your in-depth historical research adds so much to your pub reviews. It’s much appreciated. Shame you were caught by the scourge of Cascade hops. Pubs should be forced by law to add a health warning “Beware, this beer is tainted by Cascade” 🤢🥴 These modern, citrusy IPA’s do nothing for me. They make me long for the good old fashioned bitters of the 1970’s! 🍺👍

this will be a worthwhile day out. another interesting TPV.

Another great video, always interesting and enjoyable

Excellent as always 🍺

What a great little channel I've stumbled upon good sir.

Outstanding video…these always make my day! Glad to see you survived the “slums” of Belgravia and clearly enjoyed some wonderful sunshine. Absolutely love The Nags Head, despite the wallet draining prices. Great job…Cheers! 🍻

I would ne'er thought I'd spy/ A leather couch as blue as the sky... (at the Fox & Hounds: 21:16). I guess cordovan red and club green get somewhat boring after awhile.. It would match the Fallon & Ball "Pimlico Periwinkel" clad walls of those other pubs...

The Trafalgar Tavern Greenwich has an IPA priced at over £8. It's been there for quite a while too. Thanks for this very good video. It's interesting that the Thomas Cubit was omitted.

Yet another excellent and informative video. Great presentation and I love the combination of History and Geography in your narrative, makes me wonder if you have been a schoolteacher at some point?, I shall be visiting the Star Tavern at some point as it looks fabulous, particularly the library room, thank you for the considerable effort you put into these endeavours and I look forward to many more..

Thank you, utterances and beer houses and attempted murders, almost Sherlockian. Loved it.

Good evening Mr Tweedie. Marvellous video - thank you

Good evening, Tweedy. It looks like I am going to have to visit some of these Belgravia pubs with my "usual suspect " friends 😆 We usually visit on weekdays, when the pubs tend to be a little quieter. Nothing worse than a noisy overcrowded pub with either loud music or noisy TV's playing sports !!! I must say I like these small mews pubs - they are growing on me 👍 Another good video Tweedy. Keep up the good work 😃👍

18:45 Upstairs to upstairs. ❤

Thanks for the interesting video and the effort in making it. It must be hard work having to wander from pub to pub drinking beer and maybe having a bite to eat. Love the videos though. 👍

Nice episode “reboot” :-) Only England could have had a Beer house Act. That’s awes9me.

Another very interesting video, A large amount of time most go into making these video's what with all the research you do before you visit the pubs.

Another thoroughly interesting video from the best pub channel on KZfaq. Love the Grenadier at 01.53 with the Gibraltar battle honour spelled 'Gibralter'.....no military many penned that. There is a story about an army officer being caught cheating at cards in there and being promptly flogged to death by his fellow officers. I hate cheats but this was rather disproportionate. I wonder if this story in fact relates to the other pub that you mention? Many journals attribute it to this building but if this was not the officer's mess, it would perhaps be the other place? Anyway, great video and please keep them coming.

It's currently 0255 and I've just got in. I was telling my mates tonight that Tweedy is a good man. They all agreed.... If there is any moral to this little vignette. I don't know what it is. But maybe that is the point.

Nice pub crawl again The Nags Head looks like my type of pub interior but I didn't like the beer price 🍻

I really appreciate all the time and research put into the video. I had never heard of Fox and Hounds but it looked like a warm atmosphere. Too bad the same can't be said for The Nags Head which I find an incredibly problematic place. As charming as that pub looks I think the landlord is in the wrong profession. Anyway, cheers Tweedy!

Interesting interiors and histories! Nags Head felt a little claustrophobic and the prices! But would happily go to all the others.

Belgravia looks stunning. Real Crapper sinks are amazing.The pubs look like real, beautiful British pubs but when I heard £8.00 for a pint of Guinness I almost lost control of my bowels (again). Come to Cork, Ireland for a pub tour and I’ll recommend a few good boozers!

A lovely area Belgravia, but dear me ! £8 a pint, WTF ! I could just about bare it, if it was a trendy craft beer or a premium real ale, but Guinness for crying out loud, something up here in the North East, that I could probably get 4 cans of for a tenner. Each to their own, but can never understand why Guinness is so revered and has a cult following, bland taste, albeit unique. Guinness are like the Mafia of the drinks industry, even in the North East it would be knocking on £5 a pint, and I've never seen it discounted. A shame a lot of these pubs have sold their soul to food, but that's a familiar story. I am pleased that I remember the Star as just a normal pub with few frills, when I first visited in the early 90s. Another great video, keep up the good work.

In the 80s The Grenadier had a Bloody Mary bar with an old boy in a white stewards outfit.

Having a dark mild called dapple from OEC brewing out of Oxford Connecticut as I join you on your pub crawl here in Lewiston New York

I had expected to see ‘The Plumbers Arms’ of Lady Lucan fame. At £8 a pint I am surprised that they have got any regulars.

Go to the Star for their pies.... awesome, and not expensive.

11:18 …purveyor of asses’ milk 😂

Commenting for the algorithm

I like your videos very much but if I may make a small comment: I prefer the rather more ad hoc in situ delivery of your pub histories. This felt more like a formal documentary. The Nag's Head is pretty much opposite the mews house of Ghislaine Maxwell where the infamous photo of Prince Andrew with Virgina Giuffre that he claims was fake was taken.

Pricey but nevertheless very nice.

The beer in the Grenadier is consistently poor to average.
