spectacular food, which includes a daily supply of fresh
oysters.
FOX AND HOUNDS
29 Passmore St Sloane Square.Daily noon-11pm.
MAP
On a quiet street near Sloane Square, this tiny Young's pub provides a perfect winter re-
treat. With its open fire, faux books, oil paintings and relaxed, neighbourhood feel, it's a
world away from the glitzier options in these parts.

MAP
Located in a cobbled mews, this quaint little pub was Wellington's local (his horse
mounting block survives outside) and his officers' mess; the original pewter bar survives
and the wood-panelled interior is cosy. Serves real ales and pricey food.
NAG'S HEAD

MAP
A convivial, quirky and raffish little pub in a posh mews, with dark wood-panelling, a
mobile phone ban, and a wealth of nostalgic bric-a-brac attesting to its bohemian creden-
tials. The sunken backroom has a flagstone floor. Live jazz performances on Sundays.
PIG'S EAR
35 Old Church St Sloane Square.Daily noon-11pm.
MAP
Deep in Chelsea village,
