Rich in history - which may be legend only, but good fun. Pick your favourite story from the place where the Great Train Robbery was planned to the 1960s landlord Paddy Kennedy telling Elizabeth Taylor to move her fat ar*e so a regular could sit down.

Great stuff.

Today, its a tidy mews pub, hidden away from those who are not looking for it. I stayed on the ground floor, tucked in along the bar to soak in the atmosphere.

Fullers pub and a mentioned by OB - a GBG regular, including 2024.

My sort of tourist pub.

Splendid mews pub behind the German embassy, the front bar is cosy and friendly with more rooms upstairs one called “The Library”, and there’s a dining room to the left. A Fullers pub with the beer in excellent condition. It has a Yank landlord but he seems a good sort. One of the famous five pubs continuously in the Good Beer Guide since 1974 and you can see why.

Will Larter left this review about The Star Tavern

I had been looking forward to visiting the Star Tavern for the first time, as it is a Camra Heritage Pub; as soon as I walked in the door I realised I had been here before, with one of my Luton Town mates who was into ticking these pubs with historic interiors in the years prior to his death in 2013. Our visit had been in the days before I started writing down details of my pub outings, never mind writing reviews, so my memory was hazy - but I recognised the set up of the bar counter, against the right wall on entering. There are two sets of hand pumps, with Gales HSB on one of two near the door, the other three further on with London Pride and ESB, plus a guest from Twickenham brewery. There is a lounge to the left, through an arch in front of the bar, and a further arch leads through from that to a smaller lounge to the rear. - both rooms have fireplaces. There was no background music, but there was a friendly, convivial atmosphere and it was a pleasure to enjoy the surroundings and remember my friend. The beer was in good condition, too.
