(Really) hidden gem of a pub
Want a pub to show johnny-foreigner what a proper British pub is all about? Take your friends from overseas to The Grenadier and I think they will get the picture.The Grenadier is ridiculously hidden away down a small private road just off Belgrave Square. Even with a map in my hand I stood at the entrance to the small cobbled lane thinking, well it can't be down here, how can my map be so wrong.The beer is good and you can stand out on the street (they give you a plastic glass).Part of me isn't too happy to share the knowledge of this pub with everyone because it is a hidden treasure trove and more to the point it isn't very big. After reading this review you really should reciprocate with your hidden treasures too!

Good for a drink
This is one of my favourite London pubs, tucked away in a little mews between Wilton Crescent and Knightsbridge, five minutes from Hyde Park Corner. One wouldn't find it without knowing about it, so it has a peculiar clientele of locals and better-informed tourists who've read about the atmosphere - it was once the mess of the Grenadier Guards, and is reputedly haunted by the ghost of an officer. It's dark, wood-panelled and full of military memorabilia. The food is average at best and occasionally dodgy - despite which, it seems to be worth booking at lunchtimes as the dining room at the back is usually full. However, the beer is good and they do an excellent Bloody Mary.
