Very close to Ladbroke Grove tube station, the pub was built in the mid-1860s in the "Kensington Italianate" style and still has an attractive Victorian carved timber frontage in polished red granite.
After a period of closure, the former KPH reopened as the Knight of Notting Hill in September 2023. It was the second free house pub from Zora Singh, who also opened Three Falcons "desi pub" in St John's Wood. There has been a general refit throughout, including new banquette seating, marble-topped tables and a new sound system for anticipated gigs. It is intended that the pub’s tradition as a live music venue will continue, with events featuring rappers, singers and DJs.
The food menu (posted outside the pub) has a distinctly Indian flavour. Keg beers, no handpumps or cask ales.
Historic Interest
This pub was a wartime favourite of Timothy Evans, later wrongly convicted and hanged for the Rillington Place serial murders. The actual serial killer John Christie had a stint as a barman in the pub. The miscarriage of justice was a main factor leading to the abolition of capital punishment. Known as an Irish pub in earlier decades and the KPH initials are jokingly said to have meant "Keep Paddy Happy". Also said to have been the HQ of those instigating the Notting Hill race riots of 1958. Later, the pub hosted singer Tom Jones's first London gig.
The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
