  “🚇 West Kensington 🍺 £6.00 Amstel This imposing pub is located at the junction of busy West Cromwell Road and North End Road in West Kensington, West London. The nearest Tube is West Kensington. The pub started life as The Three Kings and dates back to 1805. The present Edwardian building was rebuilt in 1902. The pub has had several names over the years, including The Nashville Rooms and Via Fossa, before becoming The Famous Three Kings in 2000. During the 1970s, the pub became famous as a major live punk and pub-rock music venue. The Sex Pistols performed here in 1976, other acts included The Stranglers and Elvis Costello. This is a large high ceilinged, two bar pub that is mainly traditional, with a few contemporary touches. The bar to the left is quite long and opens up towards the back. There is a more intimate, raised central area and a spacious bar to the right, complete with pool tables. The decor varies depending on which area you’re in: bright on the right, bold in the centre and darker on the left. A nice feature was the brick fireplace, and it was great to see a pub carpet, although fairly tame by comparison. There are also around 30 TVs dotted around the pub, visible from almost every area. The beer selection was pretty solid, with a range of familiar favourites, beers from local independent breweries and two cask ales. I opted for an Amstel, my pint was great, price point was average. Food wise, there is a range of burgers and pub classics, fish and chips costing £15. I arrived just after 8 pm on a mild Thursday evening in April. The pub was fairly busy in the left hand bar and packed in the central section, where a celebration was taking place. Europa League football was showing on the TVs, with Notts Forest v Porto grabbing the attention of plenty of punters. The service was on point, I was served in good time. This is a big old boozer that will really appeal to sports fans. Loved the musical ties, and the grand nature of the place. There’s a good choice of beers and the surroundings were comfortable. An enjoyable visit was had. 📅 16th April 2026”

  “Great pub in Kensington, we went there twice and everything we tried was good. The people were very kind and made us feel welcomed but strangely what we liked the most was the music. Pure feelgood music from 90s... Would definitely recommend”

  “Great Pub just at the tube station. Perfect place to have a pint of cider or beer and watching the folks walk by.”

  “Had loads of great memories here, but it’s really gone downhill since the ownership change - you can feel it as soon as you walk in. Beer selection’s changed, no Amex or MiXR, dartboard’s gone. Gave it a fair shot but the food was poor (£15 nachos is a joke) and the beer tasted like the lines hadn’t been cleaned. Real shame - this place used to be incredible.”

  “Just passing after visiting the Cyber show in Olympia , the sign said meal and drinks £8 before 16.00 , we were hungry Tuesday 15.30 well it's a soft drink, beer is £2 extra. But good new Vegan food ! A burger on the menu , why not so when ordering the choice was Beef style or Tofu style comes with vegan cheese and great chips, my son had a chicken wrap which he also enjoyed. The Beer and Cider were both fresh so an enjoyable meal overall. It's a sports pub for sure screens everywhere and as we were leaving a huge projection screen was being unrolled so if your into sport all good .”

  “We use the 3 Kings pretty regularly for a beer on the way home from work. Great sports bar with lots of different sports being shown. Decent selection of draught with craft beers costing £8ish. Currently they have pints for £5 on Monday nights. Big windows and plenty of seating. The food is the only letdown. Twice we have eaten there and it has not been great. Last night we ordered a Barbie Chick pizza to share as we were late getting home and hungry. After a 25 min. wait, which I wasn't overly concerned about as it meant it was being made fresh, we got a cheese pizza with BBQ sauce and a bare sprinkle of chicken/bacon. I have to say it was a tasty CHEESE pizza, and we ate it all, but for £16 we expected better. I mentioned it to the manager and she said sorry we were disappointed! Obviously they are following bosses instructions regarding ingredients. We will continue to visit for a beer but will get our food elsewhere in future.”

  “Great vegan options at a brilliant sports pub. Really enjoyed the sweetcorn riblets, albeit maybe too much sauce but did taste delicious. Loaded fries were also delicious with all the extras. Had the burgers here before too and would recommend. Quick service and good vibes inside”

  “Not the best burger we had. But decent. Would rather have tried the pizza - looked really good! Easy to order drinks, just download the app and pay by the table. Really nice atmosphere! Went to see Liverpool vs. Man United and the pub was full, but not too full. Staff was kind and people were nice.”

  “Great wee sports bar. Nice beer, nice food. Loved the local lager. Bartender staff were helpful to me, an out of towner. No hassle to order food and drink, and no fuss to make a change to what we wanted. Food came out delicious, well cooked, tasty and hot. The only reason for the 4 star Atmosphere rating is because of the overly loud and obtrusive music.”
