Discover the Charming London Pub Beloved by Royals

A Royal Favorite: The Hart Pub in London

From the outside, The Hart may seem like just another quaint pub in London, but step inside and you’ll find a warm, inviting space that has welcomed members of the British royal family.

A Royal Christening Reception

After Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi’s christening at St. James’s Palace, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi enjoyed a long lunch at the pub with Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack Brooksbank, and other guests. The royal-studded luncheon took place upstairs in one of The Hart’s private dining spaces.

A source told us, “It’s a really lovely pub with a very chilled atmosphere, and everyone was very discreet – you would never have known there was royalty in the building.”

Private Dining

The post-christening luncheon may have taken place in The Den, located on the top floor of the pub. The Den features exposed beams, a fireplace, and a cocktail bar, making it the perfect setting for group dining and private events.

Below on the second floor are additional private spaces, including The Restaurant, with its bespoke British lighting and gas fires, and The Snug, an intimate space that can accommodate up to 16 guests for a meal.

A Royal Guest

Less than two weeks after the christening celebration, Lady Amelia Windsor, the granddaughter of the Duke of Kent, stopped by The Hart for a festive dinner with Chaumet, seemingly in one of its private dining areas.

A Cozy London Spot

The Hart, located on the corner of Chiltern Street and Blandford Street, is named after the Hart family who ran a pub on the same site back in the 1840s. Their legacy of good food, great drinks, and warm hospitality inspired the creation of the current establishment.

The Hart celebrates British farmers, producers, and seasonal ingredients from their Market Garden at Bruern Farms. The menu features a variety of classic pub fare, with prices ranging from £6 for hash browns to £28 for steak and potatoes.

With its cozy atmosphere and classic fare, guests can expect a quintessential pub experience at The Hart… one with a royal seal of approval!
