The Earl of Lonsdale 277-281 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2QA

"I have to be honest, this was my first British Pub. They had very good chips (fries) and the ketchup was plentiful. The highlight though was this beer they have on tap. It was fantastic it has a sweet aftertaste that you wouldn’t believe. It’s a hint of sweetness and it tastes awesome they have a blonde or dark version and they are both good. We stopped in on our way to the Knotting Hill Street market and it was rainy and dark and cold. We were too late for the market but on time for the pub. Don’t get me started on the Sun here in winter."

"Great place with a beautiful beer garden. Too bad it was cold because it looks amazing for the warmer seasons. Waiter Žan was the best. He explained a brief history of the place to me and the tradition behind it. Served me a couple of beers and we had blast! Highly recommend!"

"A Samuel Smith pub so very limited beer choices. We stopped by after walking around Portobello Road on a very hot day in August."

"I have visited many places in London since I moved here but nothing like this place. Dark, not clean, not tidy and the customer it is far away from what the area specs. The burger was not what you spec for £16 Definitely not a place to go. It wold be great to review the next time with 5 stars bur for now it is 1 as I can’t use 0."

"The iconic Earl Of Lonsdale is a great place to have a good pint, can't miss this in your visit to Notting Hill you will be at the same place as the greatest music artist of the 70's having a beer. So music lovers are obliged to come here, sit back and breathe in the atmosphere. With small rooms around the bar and nice place outside to drink when the weather in London isn't rain, the pub is a great place to stop and enjoy your visit. The place deserves five star, the town too, but the service isn't what I expected for an iconic pub at London. You can't be nice with the customers?, well then waiter isn't your job. Really, it isn't. And it's not the job for the rude bald waiter inside. We all know customer service is hard, it's even harder at a touristic place as Notting Hill, full of tourists hungry to see Madonna's house, or the Beckham's, but if you can't do it, trust me man, there are tons of jobs in England you can do. At the end you're the front of people to the world, as we the tourist will come back to our countries and tell our experience, and you're giving a bad name to all other places with working hard waiters to make our experience positive."
