The Antelope, Belgravia, SW1

Agree, a very nice old school Fullers pub not far from Sloane Square tube station. Plenty of dark wood in the main room with its central square bar area and then panelled snug room to the left hand side and the additional seating area to the back referred to as the “Whisky Corner” There is also an additional snug room off the upstairs Eaton dining room but these are a more modern décor than the pub section on ground floor level. The bar is not the biggest area and the locals were commandeering the bar stools on either side meaning you had to queue at the front section with its five ale pumps, but as they spend more money than I do in here I won’t begrudge them that. Pride, ESB, Seafarers, Bengal lancer and HSB from the Fullers stable and the Bengal lancer was in fine form. Perhaps it’s because I bagged a seat in Whisky Corner but I really enjoyed a pint here.

Not one of my favorite pubs in the area ,fullers beer well served every time I've been in but nothing inspiring,wouldnt go out of my way to visit but wouldnt avoid if passing.

Small Fullers pub near Sloane Square tube. Central wooden frame bar with seating areas around it, neat cream walls and various artefacts and trad seating. There is a small 'library' to one end with gentlemans club leather seating. 3 Fullers ales plus a guest - Castle Rock Harvest Pale on my trip here and the beer quality was good.

The main bar area only has a couple of tables, with the majority of seating (but no tall tables/stools) in the side room on the left that looks like it has been annexed by the pub at some stage, and in the small “lounge” area at the back behind the bar on the right. Thus the main pub area around the bar must be used almost exclusively for vertical drinking, and on my previous visits when it has been more crowded this has been the general pattern. However, it is a good pub, and another one worth visiting if you’re in the area. It’s a pub I’m bound to return to at some stage.
