Planning app PP/25/02653 for partial change of use, refurbishment and extension of building retaining public house (Sui Generis) at basement and ground floor levels and creating hotel (Class C1) with 23 guest rooms at upper floors (including duplex family suite with two ensuite bedrooms) was GRANTED 16 July 2025.
Previous description follows.
The pub was built in the early 1890s to the designs of speculative builder-architect George Whitaker, and replaced an earlier pub dating from at least the mid 1860s. Now this spacious Victorian pub has been taken up-market in the wave of gentrification of West London, and is none the worse for it.
The decorative plaster ceiling is supported by scroll-topped metal columns and there is plenty of etched glass with mirrors and an elaborate bar-back with clock.There's a variety of comfortable seating in the main bar and in the snug at rear.
Take a look at the Dutch-themed upstairs bar, or tasting room, 'Proeflokaal Rembrandt' offering some 105+ beers, including many high quality Belgian & Dutch beers. The back drop commemorates the day of disgrace for the British Navy when in the 'Raid on the Medway' the Dutch fleet broke a protective chain across the river Medway in 1667, successfully attacked the British fleet in what was described as its most serious defeat ever in home waters, and temporarily blockaded London. Regular Dutch activities are organised, and authentic Dutch food served. See hours etc., on the web https://www.proeflokaalrembrandt.co.uk/
