...a picturesque pub in a pretty street...
	NAG'S HEAD	LONDON SW1X 8ED	53 Kinnerton St, Belgravia
	A stones-throw from busy Knightsbridge, in a tranquil mews, the Nags Head is locked in the past. The front is like a Dickensian shop and the unspoilt interior is just as pleasing. Wooden floors, panelled walls, an oak fireplace with a range set in it, low ceilings and a low bar; so low in fact that tiny stools are provided. There's an interesting collection of penny-arcade machines and a 19th century beer engine. New bars have been opened up in the basement and the rear, but these haven't spoilt the atmosphere.	The pub dates back to the early 19th century when the huge houses of Belgravia were built. This mews was where the horses and carriages were kept and where the footmen and stable-hands lived and cared for the horses. The pub was for them. This is one of a dwindling number of true freehouses in the capital. Landlord Kevin Moran runs it in a traditional manner and is robustly independent. His house rules include no fruit machines or mobile phones. Here, here!
