Kensington has gained a new craft beer pub, with the arrival into the area of the Local Beer House group.

The pub company, which also runs The Dean Swift in Bermondsey, Old Red Cow in Smithfield and Hack & Hop on Fleet Street, has taken over The Hansom Cab that sits between Earl’s Court and High Street Kensington for its fourth site.

It sees in a new era for the pub, which has been trading on the site since 1827, and is now in its 190th year.

The new-look boozer features a downstairs bar with 12 keg and 5 cask lines plus a big bottled beer selection, and an upstairs dining room serving pub classics made from seasonal produce.

In the video above the Local Beer House group owner Phil Strongman explains the concept and what to expect.
