Right by the platform at Kew Gardens station (the only London tube platform with its own pub), this lovingly restored Victorian yellow-brick boozer is well worth a visit. With outside seating surrounded by foliage and twinkling fairy lights in the courtyard at the front, it's a fine haven for a pub lunch. There's live music on Saturdays from 7pm.
