Situated just off picturesque Edward Square in Kensington, this is an attractively designed and decorated establishment in a refined and elegant part of the capital. The Scarsdale Arms was built in the early 19th century to the designs of the French architect Louis Changeur. Changeur reputedly planned the living quarters for the officers of Napoleon's army he assumed would soon be conquering England. The lip-smacking smell of grilling steak fills the bar room, the walls of which are hung with many works of art from the time of the pub's construction.
