The Builders Arms

"The Builders Arms is a Kensington favourite for spilling out onto the street on a nice day, and after a couple of drinks it’s very easy to see why. The front garden of this pub is adorned with kaleidoscopic flower baskets and frequented by west London’s finest (drinkers). Big square benches mean a conversation with a stranger is, shockingly, not out of the question—and there are a couple of seats for strategic loitering and cigarette ‘borrowing’." - jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley

"This delightful Kensington boozer will continue offering 50% off food and soft drinks all-day Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday till September 9th." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak

"On the tick list of things that make a great pub, The Builders Arms rates pretty high. An exciting menu of updated British classics for mostly under 20 quid. Check. Five different roast options on its Sunday lunch menu. Yep. Outdoor seating for those summer days and drunken evenings. You bet. And that’s without even starting on the hefty wine list, open fireplace, and local craft beer tap takeovers. If it’s your local, we’re jealous. If it’s not, well, the ridiculously tasty scotch egg alone is a good enough reason to risk the Circle line." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna

"The outdoor seating at The Builder’s Arms makes it perfect for summer days and drunken evenings. And it’s just one of the things that makes this such a great pub. They also have a pretty exciting menu of updated British classics that all come in at under twenty quid, a hefty wine list, and local craft beer tap takeovers." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley
