Pass the sad corpse of a pub on the corner of Billing Road and Fulham Road, and you'll find the Fox & Pheasant tucked away in a tranquil mews.
In the mid 19th century, two small cottages were knocked through to create this delightful pub.
Then, this area would have been on the edge of the countryside, but although its name implies a country connection, until a few decades ago, it was called the Bedford Arms.

It has two bars, both relatively untouched, with low ceilings, pine flooring, painted beams and half panelled walls. The lounge is marginally more comfy.
The furnishings are simple; wooden pews and small round tables, the exceptions being a carved fireplace and some very unusual splay-legged chairs.
The bar servery area is classic, with small, glass panelled screens forming a booth. A tiny hatch faces the entrance, once used for 'off sales'.
The beers are well kept and the service attentive and friendly.

NOTE - this pub is 100 yards from Chelsea football ground and is likely to be packed on match days.
