Chelsea's King's Road is one of London's most iconic streets. Even if you rarely venture west, chances are you've heard the name. Once a private route for royalty between Whitehall and Hampton Court Palace, the street found new fame in the swinging sixties as the beating heart of fashion and youth culture, and in the '70s Vivienne Westwood's own legendary boutique helped establish punk style.
With The Pelican in Notting Hill, The Bull in Charlbury, The Hero in Maida Vale and The Fat Badger on Golborne Road, Public House Group has amassed quite the collection, and now another new addition is on the way. The Hart, opening on the corner of Chiltern Street and Blandford Street in Marylebone, is named after the family who ran an establishment on the same spot back in the 1840s. It'll be in the same vein as the other sites in the group - that means British beers at the bar and comforting dishes in the dining room.
