Local guide
About Earl's Court
Kensington’s more down-to-earth neighbour, Earl’s Court is a well-rounded base to explore West London – and beyond. Relaxed restaurants, traditional pubs and leafy side streets characterise the neighbourhood. Make sure you visit The Troubadour, an iconic music venue that hosted Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell in its prime. You’re more likely to walk in on a lowkey jazz session these days, performed under a decades-old collection of instruments...

Cosy up for a bite at the Troubadour

The Science Museum is free (except for the temporary exhibits). Learn all about discovering the DNA molecule, see Puffing Billy, and be sure to check out the photography collection as well.
Enjoy a pint at the Stanhope Arms
On Gloucester Road, you will find the Stanhope Arms, a traditionally decorated pub with a great range of ales to choose from. The perfect place for a quick drink after a long day of exploring.
Treat yourself to a cake at Fait Maison
We challenge you to walk past Fait Maison and resist the call of the cupcake or the smell of fresh brewed coffee from 8am most mornings.
Attend a private art exhibition at Gallery 286
This gorgeous gallery is to be found in a Victorian townhouse and can be explored by appointment. Worth getting on the mailing list.

Cosy up at the historic Hereford Arms
Rumour has it that this Victorian pub was once Jack the Ripper's favourite drinking haunt. Nowadays it's best known for its convivial vibe, classic British pub grub & locally-brewed Fuller's beer.
Get inspired at the Mosaic Rooms
One of the finest collections of Islamic art in London, The Mosaic Rooms has a permanent collection and monthly exhibitions showcasing this timeless art form.
St Augustine's Church
Once a favourite church of renowned poet John Betjemen, the church's building is also a stunning display of Victorian architecture, and a thriving house of worship.
Taste some English Ale at The Blackbird
This Fullers pub right by Earl's Court station ticks all boxes for a good old boozer. Expect pub classics alongside a good selection of ale and continental lager.
Snap a photo at the Earls Court Police Box
A treat for Doctor Who fans, this refurbished police box outside Earls Court Station is a perfect spot for a selfie. Channel your inner Time Lord and capture the moment.
