At the end of a quiet cobbled mews off Belgrave Square, the Star stands proud, head and shoulders above its neighbours.
It was built in the early 19th century to cater for the domestic staff of the the many great houses of Belgravia.
The mews cottages were used for stabling horses and to accomodate the grooms and coachmen. Today they are more likely to house a millionaire than a servant.
From the outside the Star probably hasn't changed that much, but inside the new social order has left its mark.
The open bar would have been divided into many rooms, each one used according to ones status 'below stairs'.
Now it is open and bright. There are two fireplaces in the largest room, with comfortable benches and scrubbed pine tables.
The Star is a very popular pub, particularly at lunchtimes. There's a pleasant room upstairs which acts as an overflow dining room.
In the summer drinkers spill out into the mews, which is surprisingly tranquil considering its position.
