The Star and Dove

Walk into St Luke's Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually belongs to its neighbourhood rather than feeling imposed on it. The Star and Dove is all weathered charm and no pretension—the sort of place where regulars have their spots and newcomers feel welcome within minutes. Run by Guerrilla Pubs, it's got that rare quality of being unpretentious without trying, with a solid drinks selection and food that doesn't disappoint. You're here because the beer's worth drinking and the company's worth keeping.
