Described by the Council as rebuilt in the late 1930s, and with a homely neo Georgian appearance in distinctive red brick that sets it apart from its neighbouring stock brick and stucco fronted terraces. The surrounding pedestrianised area and this pub's frontage have been smartened up in recent years, no doubt influenced by the giant Westfield shopping centre across (under) the road. Happily, the pub's interior retains its retro style, with separate drinking areas betraying its Victorian origins and lots of old advertising mirrors and prints. Unused gas-light fittings can still be seen above the U-shaped bar.
Although technically in Notting Hill, the Stewart has more in common with its more down-to-earth peers in Shepherd's Bush across the roundabout. Handpump unused and hence no cask ale.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
1930s brick construction situated in a pedestrianised street. The pub still retains a three-roomed layout – rare in London.
On the right is the lounge bar that has a counter that appears to be 1930s, but has 1960s button leatherette frontage added although retaining its 1930s tiled trough around the base. Note the tall narrow screen attached to the bar – has this been re-positioned? The good tiled and wood surround fireplace looks 1930s with a beveled mirror panel in the mantelpiece. The island-style ‘gantry’ back fitting is streamline late 1930s style at the top; fridges have replaced lower shelves.
The small room, ‘private bar’?, in the middle has a doorway in and out and another original bar counter with 1960s button leatherette frontage added. The left hand public bar has the same original bar counter with 1960s button leatherette frontage added and the fixed seating might be old.
