50 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, SW3 5LR (View on Google Map)

This Pub is Permanently Closed

Former Whitbread pub converted to a fancy French restaurant called 'La Chaumiere'. Yet another loss of an historic pub in the 'Royal' Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, this one dating from 1761. Grade II listed building status did not prevent its conversion, demonstrating the weakness of the planning system to safeguard our pub heritage from greedy pub groups intent on asset stripping. Would the Parisiens tolerate the conversion of one of their premier gastronomic restaurants into a mock British pub? - I think not!

Already reported as converted to restaurant, was renamed ‘Cheyne Walk Brasserie’. Now No.50 Cheyne.

Historic Interest

Grade II listed, Historic England ref 1358127. Public House. Early C19. Two storeys. Stucco. On corner. Three narrow bays to Cheyne Walk. Rusticated ground floor with 3 segmental headed openings (2 doors and central window). Frieze and cornice over. First floor has 3 square-headed sashes divided by plain pilasters. Cornice over. Punctuated parapet; 2 bays of balusters. Rounded corner to Cheyne Row. Return side of 3 wider bays, no pilasters to upper floor except on corner. Band and parapet.
