The King's Head, Earl's Court

You know that pub you walk past a hundred times and finally decide to duck into? This is it. The King's Head sits quietly on Hogarth Place, away from the tourist-heavy drag of Earl's Court Road, and it feels like the kind of place where people have their regular table. The crowd's a proper mix—locals nursing pints, mates catching up over beers, the odd visitor who's stumbled in and realised they've found something real. The sort of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself.
