A great little boozer in the midst of upmarket gastro pubs , a two roomed affair with a central U shaped bar. Quite busy on an early Saturday afternoon with very much a locals feel.Beers on were Portobello Star, Harveys Sussex Best and a very nice Timothy Taylors Golden Best.Very much a proper pub despite the fact it's card only, a must inclusion on a pub crawl.

A magnificently unspoilt locals' pub, still much as described below. With some 1930's music playing, it was quite easy to be transported back quite a few decades (provided you forgot the TVs and coffee machine!). Chatting to the new (Irish) landlord, he explained that it is no longer a managed house as he has taken on a 5 year lease and he will be making some minor improvements but seeking to keep the unspoilt character. Despite a strong Guinness following, he is planning to augment the ale range which is not bad already with Portobello Star and Westway Pale, plus Harvey's Sussex Best. A proper pub and well worth visiting.

Pretty well-oiled at this point, but we found time for a swift one at this decent little community pub. Got a good impression of it and the ale was decent- three from Portobello plus Doom Bar. Not much to complain about here but it didn’t quite push my buttons like the Churchill Arms. Surprised to find out it’s a Stonegate managed house- certainly didn’t feel like it.

It's unusual to find a working class boozer in such an upmarket area ,this mid terrace pub is popular with the local Irish but is welcoming to all.The bar is at the head of the larger room,while to the left through an arch is a calm lounge.Sky Sports screens here on mute,there is a collection of board games nearer the bar and furniture throughout is mixed with some high tables near the bar, some bench seating elsewhere.
The landlady is very efficient at pulling pints,so don't dither at the bar when busy.
Food is served but it's not shoved down your throat and nobody was eating while I was there.The mindless muzak seemed superflious.There are seats outside in a sun trap area.
At the bar was Portobello Star,Harvey's Sussex Best,Doom Bar and TT Landlord served in a dimple glass (NBSS 3,correct temerature on a scorching day,£2.45 the half) .Ale quality a lot higher than the nearby GBG listed Windsor Castle.
Comfortable spot,proper boozer and worth a stop on any crawl of the area.You may well get drawn into banter at the bar.

Only my second visit since my first in August 2015 and I’m not sure if the pub has perhaps had a lick of paint internally; certainly the fascia has been repainted recently in a more traditional and attractive style giving the foundation date of 1869 when in fact it was founded in 1836 but was probably rebuilt in the 1930s in this attractive narrow street, where dinky houses are priced at around £2.75m. Gone too is the bullseye glass from the windows.
Internally it may have been painted white in a very dated style with white textured papered and woodchip walls, some wood panelling and a dado shelf from which hang floral plates, whilst atop it are old glass and earthenware bottles. Furniture comprises studded chocolate brown vinyl banquettes to the perimeter, some low Britannia tables and small, upholstered traditional stools. The right-hand room also has a couple of tall tables and chairs to the window which looks out over limited pavement seating; the floor is part modern bare boarded and part carpeted and above the bar is a pot shelf with attractive wrought iron detailing. Over by a fireplace is a selection of board games. Music played, but at such a muted level that it was nearly drowned out by the conversation coming from the other six customers.
Clients seem to be pleasantly mixed and according to the photo on the website, includes local resident Jeremy Paxman. The barmaid was efficient rather than friendly on this quiet evening, presiding over Uxbridge Arms Pale Ale, Gloom, Pride and Landlord at £2.30 a half and in decent nick; it was also relatively cheap for the area.
Certainly, the Uxbridge Arms has a slightly ‘villagey’ feeling and if not, then certainly that of a backstreet boozer, but it is perhaps a little dated with an unremarkable ale choice, so I doubt I’ll be making repeat visits, but I wish it well.

Much the same as previous, now under the auspices of the EI Group. A little less "London backstreet" than my previous visit (I watched Slovakia knock Italy out of the 2010 World Cup here), the flooring is now bare-boarded around the bar area, save for a small area behind the bar's far right and a dining area to the left of the bar. Cosy window seating opposite the bar is now tall tables and stooled with a leather bench seat suitably raised too. Four ales - a house ale ("Uxbridge Arms Ale"), Sharp's Doom Bar, Fuller's London Pride and surprisingly Thornbridge Jaipur. A further bonus after ordering a pint of the latter was that "Ale Mondays" saw all pints of real ale £3.30 a pint. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but my pint was end of barrelly which was a big disappointment. There was a decent alt-indie soundtrack, but a little too loud. Sometimes its best to keep memories as they were and walk past, but at least this out-of-the-way, backstreeter is still going - and the Monday night ale offer (despite my experience) is worth a drop-in for this neck of the woods.

Tucked away on a side street this is a compact little pub. Quite a basic interior but I don't mean that in a bad way. 3 real ales served from the central bar.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Uxbridge Arms

Compact and very traditional pub with several small seating areas to either side of the small servery. Busy - but not over-crowded - on a Thursday evening, with a good atmosphere. Three handpumps on the counter, offering Pride (£4.25), Tribute and Harvey's.

A very nice little boozer tucked away from the main drag,almost has a village pub feel about it. The beers were trending toward the ordinary end of the spectrum but my Harveys Sussex Best was a joy to drink,despite the unchallenging beer range I would be more than happy to return.

A nice, traditional U-shaped pub, just off the main Notting Hill Gate road. The layout of the pub suggests separate areas on each of the three sides of the bar, furnished with a mix of standard and high tables plus some banquettes along the front wall. A passageway runs behind the bar making access to the toilets a lot easier for those on the far side of the pub. There are various pictures on the walls, seemingly without theme, but the most striking artefact is a framed soldier's tunic which hangs in profile on a wall to the right of the bar.
There was only London Pride or Harvey's Best available when I visited, with a St Austell Tribute clip turned. I had a couple of good pints of Harvey's served to me by the welcoming and efficient bar staff. There was quite a young crowd in whilst I was there, which created a nice vibe. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but it would have been a more sombre atmosphere without them.
A good pub in a convenient location with well kept ale and friendly staff.
