The Churchill Arms, on Kensington Church Street, is famous for the flowers that cover its façade in summer and the lights that replace them at Christmas. Inside, the walls are hung with Churchill memorabilia, and a Thai kitchen in the conservatory has served food here for decades. Notting Hill Gate station is a few minutes’ walk away. Go early in the evening for a table.
