Lord Nelson

The funkiest little pub you will find in London. I have lived here for about two years now and this place is, and will always be, my favorite pub. The burgers are absolutely wicked, you get huge portions and they have spider pig glued to the ceiling. Do I need to say more?

Friendly barkeep and excellent cider. A bit out of the way with very little tourists, yay!

A cool hipster joint with a college crowd. Pretty busy spot with cheap good beer and big burgers with great fixings. ’

Hordes of drunken revellers aren’t just here for the food. It’s almost a shame: it’s a brilliant pub with excellent prices just off hte beaten track enough that you’d think that you’d get in, but you probably won’t.
Afternoons better. Wish they’d open on Sundays. But they won’t. Sad.

I stumbled upon this place with a friend and couldn’t help but wander in! It’s great — nostalgic 90s and nerdy place without being contrived or manufactured — and the place is not brimming with hipsters. The service was lovely and we got a burger which was pretty immense. It’s well lit up inside with good windows, so didn’t feel guilty about being inside a pub on a sunny afternoon — though there are outside benches.
The toilets are a bit grim, but then all pub bogs are, aren’t they?

Really cool, chilled out pub. Fun décor, good beers, cracking student discount and awesome food. In summer they often do a BBQ with the most delicious, gigantic homemade burgers for £4−5. It’s an absolute bargain!
It does get really busy and there isn’t a lot of space to stand outside so best to get there early, by 4/​5pm on a Thursday and Friday as its a favourite with local workers.

Chosen for its five star Unilocal review and close location to where we happened to be. What a find!!! This place looks like a mash up of the 90s and took me back simultaneously to my youth and uni days! Don’t be put off though, this is not a union!
We were heading in for some food and the menu is predominantly burgers and that is what I highly recommend!!! The list is long with all sorts of weird and wonderful combos. I went for the ‘Aloha’ — hand made beef patty, cheese, bacon and pineapple! Yum yum yum! I had every intention of taking a picture to make my other half envious and scoffed half of it before I remembered! Oh well, serves me right for my mean intentions, but it was totally worth diving straight in. The portions are huge and bulked out with yummy crispy wedges. Note of caution, anyone particular about their ketchup be warned, you will not find any branded varieties!
The drinks are not expensive and the JD bottle has a funny sign on it saying -‘JD, sippy sippy, nom noms’ this pretty much sums up my attitude and has kept me amused since I went. I already have plans to introduce other friends to this strange and wonderful place!

The food and atmosphere is amazing. One of the Best burger I have ever had, and I live in the us.

Best pub in London for food, booze, friendly welcome, and good atmosphere. Their food is well priced (especially for the portions you get!), caters for all, and is effing delicious! The staff are always friendly, funny, offering weird dessert-​like shots. The regular pub quiz is not to be won but enjoyed, seriously you win by luck due to the random subject categories. Can get crowded so pick the time you arrive but is always worth a visit, followed by another etc.
Basically I love this place!

I love the quirky décor. Just wish they had a few more beers on tap

From the quirky décor and the delicious burger this place is a must to go for lunch or dinner. The Juicy Lucy and the Full Nelson are the ones you must try but I bet that after that you’ll want to keep going there to try them all. Burger fans, you’ve been warned. This will be your new addiction!

Atmosphere, reasonable beers on Tap and a wonderful staff made this place so memorable I had to go twice during my 5 day stay in London. Wait… plus the stunningly huge Burgers with endless amounts of Fries was spot on a filling experience.
The first evening I arrived at an early 4:55pm to a room filled with about 6 – 7 ofld timers enjoying pints of beer. The walls are pleasingly cluttered with 80’s memorabilia, animé characters and enough random objects to keep a lone diner busy. Bartender recommended the Ale of tap and it was the perfect start. Went with the most massive burger #3 that had the toppings of all toppings spicy pulled pork (the kind waitress mentioned this was for a limited time). The burger arrived and it alone was massive but the incredibly generous portions of everything else had me wishing I had brought a friend to join… felt so bad to have left-​overs. Pulled pork simply delicious and the burger perfectly juicy… I will definitely go back just for the great service but the burgers were to perfection. A must in LONDON!

Can’t say enough good about this place to do it justice, so I’ll try to hit the high points:
— Food: Outstanding. I had the Full Nelson and chips and couldn’t have been more pleased
— Beer: A few nice selections and a joy to have something other than the large scale macro-​brews that have take over
— Service: Our server was helpful and pleasant.
— Atmosphere: Eclectic kitschy relaxed and offsets
Can’t wait to go back.

I began my two month stay in London with this epic-​find of a Pub. And I ended my trip by coming back to see if it was real. It was, and it is! It’s the type of place you want everyone to know about, but you don’t want it to become too trendy — because it is a perfect place to drink and party with your friends and make new ones!
Simon and his crew (Daniele T.) are the friendliest, most hospitable folk I have had the pleasure of meeting. The drinks are good, the music is awesome, the layout is comfortable, and the location is great. Yes, I will be back — hopefully very soon!

Sometimes fortune spins her wheel and you land on something awful or miserable or straight up nasty. And other times, fortune slows her wheel a bit in your favor and you hit the jackpot.
Jackpot is what we got with Lord Nelson.
The place definitely out of the ordinary in terms of in interior — I feels like a man cave for a grown up skateboarder. It’s eclectic and down right irreverent to the extreme. And I mean that in a good way. The wall art/​paintings, the stickers and posters, the pictures, all of it creates a very cool vibe that doesn’t align with the traditional neighborhood pub.
The food was fantastic. Great offerings with what we felt were an American edge. We loaded up on burgers and fish and chips. All fresh and tasty food.
The service was unexpectedly good. I say unexpectedly only in that one would presume that a cool pub that has good food, doesn’t need to have great service too. But they did. Our bartender/​waiter (you order at the bar), was very helpful making recommendations on food and drinks. He checked on the ingredients of their veggie burger and let the kitchen know about certain allergies we had in our group. He seemed very eager and ernest in his helpfulness.
Next time we’re in London, we will go back. It’s that good a place.

I’ve reviewed this place before but had to say that we’ve just been for another team lunch (yummy as ever) and spotted my review from Unilocal on their wall! I did say there’s always something new to spot but I didn’t imagine it would be my review!
The staff were as friendly and welcoming as always, the food was perfect and the atmosphere and surroundings still fun and quirky. Definitely visit if you’re in the area.

LOVED it! About as wacky in a good way as it gets. Next to not the greatest apartment building (no offense residents I live in worse!) and the bar itself looks somewhat like a dingy social club from the outside — but step inside and surprise! A fun, wackadoodle fairy light adventure awaits! Here you’ll find craaaay decorations. From a sexy framed picture of Dolly Parton to furbys and stuffed squirrels on the bar. The beer selection is excellent and they offer a huge selection of burgers. They are most famous for their exotic meats (which apparently they source from some fancy farm that sells their meat in Borough Market). I didn’t try anything too out there (maybe next time?!) but my regular burger was magnificent and I really couldn’t get enough of this offbeat bar/​restaurant.

Not kidding it want just the best burger in London but probably one of the best burgers in the world.

So we came in here to check out the horse burgers and boy were we treated to a cool place!
The décor is really fun and kitschy. The place was super packed, but lucky we called earlier to book a table. Most pubs don’t let you book, so that was a nice surprise!
A co-​worker and I decided to split the horse burger and the wild boar burger so that we could try a bit of everything. The server warned us beforehand that the kitchen was pretty stacked up and it would take about 20 mins to get the food. When the food came it was on a huge plate. It came with a tablespoon of coleslaw, a small salad, and chunky chips.
The horse burger was very… interesting. It’s a bit hard to describe, but I’ll try anyway. It was kind of like a really, really strong tasting beef burger. It was a bit like the smell of the grill when you walk past one of the burger vans near a football stadium. It wasn’t bad, but I don’t think I’d order it again.
The wild boar was a much lighter burger. It came with two patties. This tasted a bit like the mix of a pork and beef burger. The sauce options were varied. There was a garlic mayo, ketchup, BBQ, and a homemade spicy smurf sauce which was a bit like a Nando’s hot sauce. Defo try the hot sauce.
The servers were really friendly and the bill was reasonable. I would definitely stop in here again. All the other items on the menu look amazing and I really want to try the Hoff burger!

Without a doubt the best pub American style diner in the UK hands down.
A perfect combination of good food, value and portions with an small injection of typical british humour. Take for instance their (supermarket chain) Burger: Beef Burger with some Horsemeat. All the way to full on crocodile burgers along with standard fare Beefburgers with onion rings, packed with cheese and other extras. The range of food is great, and for those cash strapped, there’s even a value menu of items under £5. But let’s be honest, you’re here for the burgers.
Portion size as others will comment is huge. With chips and proper Slaw standard for most of the burger and sandwich dishes. Personaly the BLT is my favourite, the biggest i’ve ever seen and quite hard to finish. But when you do, you’re satisfied because you’ve conquered it and leave happy that you won’t need to eat again till the following day.
Service is great. The employees are attentive and will helpfully describe food options and cater towards preferences. The only small downside is that it’s near impossible to get or book a table for a medium largish party between 12−2pm on a Friday, since the place is extremely popular that day. Try the rest of the week if heading there around lunch.
This is seriously one of those places that misses out on trade because it can’t accommodate all the potential patrons. Take that as a very very good sign.
