The last time I was in here was in the mid-'80s. It was a traditional boozer back then and I recall a friend trying to nick one of their cut glass ashtrays; he was busted and the landlord promptly locked the door, telling a member of staff to call the police, before realising that given our age, the police might be more interested in the landlord's entry policy than mid-teenage petty criminals; we were let go, but banned.
A return the other night and I agree with the other reviewers, that this is a rather bland, heavily made over pub, with gastro hues of paint, tiling and framed prints with all the customers seemingly dining. Alongside three unused pumps, there was London Original, Special and Winter Warmer at £2.75 a half and fine.
This isn't really what I'd describe as a pub, but given the pubs in this area are seemingly so poor, it's better than average for the area, but nevertheless a below average experience compared to a proper pub.

Having crossed over into Chelsea after a Sunday afternoon constitutional through Battersea Park I was strolling the lanes south of the Kings Road looking for a decent backstreet Mews pub to have a beer in and the Coopers Arms was the nearest thing I could find with all the other pubs in this part of town seemingly more operating as out and out restaurants, especially in the case of the nearby Phene and The Surprise.
Well described by previous reviewers, yes this largely one bar pub has been visited by the Young’s makeover team who couldn’t resist putting an area of soft furnishings in a couple of places, but fortunately the main bar area is sufficiently pubby in nature to be able to sit and enjoy a pint and a packet of crisps.
The bar has an impressive array of six hand pumps, but only three in operation with Youngs Special and two badged with Youngs ordinary. We tried both and they were in decent nick. Food obviously plays a serious part here as well, but there were plenty of others in on this late Sunday afternoon just drinking, and you did not feel out of place just doing so.

A Youngs boozer in an affluent area. Fairly dull and opened out inside, with grey/blue walls and jumbo windows. To the rear is a small pseudo lounge with comfy chairs and tiled walls, leading to a walled garden. This would have been the nicest place in the pub to sit were it not for the smell of stale wee gently wafting out of the gents nearby. Just Youngs Ordinary and Special, the latter of which was in decent nick. Too bland in both décor and beer choice to warrant any sort of special visit. 5.5
