The Famous Three Kings Rules Once Again at Great British Pub Awards
North End Road venue named country's Best Sports Pub for fourth time
The Famous Three Kings, at the top of North End Road next to West Kensington tube station, has once again won the title of Best Sports Pub in this year's Great British Pub Awards.
This is the fourth time the Famous Three Kings, has won the title - it was also a winner in 2012 and both last year and 2016.
The awards, known as the 'Oscars of the pub industry' were presented at a ceremony in London on 6 September.
This pub was famous in the late 1970s as one of West London's top music venues, when it was called the Nashville Rooms and hosted bands including Georgie Fame, Dr Feelgood, Eddie & the Hot Rods, Elvis Costello, the Undertones, Sex Pistols, Stranglers, and Siouxsie & the Banshees
Now it is "for the serious sports fan" boasting three projectors and 15 plasma screens. It says: " A venue that fulfils your dreams in televised sports, with over 71,000 TV channels covering 25% of the earth’s satellite demands, we are fanatical about what we do. "
The awards judges said: " "Offering around 10,000 different channels of sport, this pub is a magnet for London sports fans. Showing anything from Danish handball to ice hockey, it’s no surprise that this pub has won the Great British Pub Award for Best Sport Pub two years in a row."
