About The Nags Head

A tiny, quirky Belgravia pub with a no-mobile-phones policy, low ceilings, and an eccentric collection of memorabilia. A step back in time.

History & Heritage

Tucked away in Kinnerton Street, a quiet former mews in Belgravia, The Nags Head dates from the early 19th century when it served the stable hands and domestic staff of the grand surrounding houses. It is reputed to be one of the smallest pubs in London and has remained gloriously resistant to change.

For many years the pub has been run with a fiercely independent spirit, most famously enforcing a strict no-mobile-phones policy to preserve the art of conversation. Its panelled rooms are crammed with an eccentric collection of antique penny-arcade machines, military memorabilia, and curiosities.

What to Expect

Expect a tiny, characterful space with a lower-level bar reached by a few steps, low ceilings, and an unusually intimate atmosphere. The pub serves well-kept ales and traditional pub food, and the strict ban on phones makes it a genuinely sociable spot. Its hidden mews location keeps it a peaceful retreat away from the crowds.
