The story
The Victoria, at 10 West Temple Sheen in East Sheen, London, is a Modern British gastropub that Michelin lists as Recommended for 2026. The pub sits a short walk from Richmond Park and combines a traditional bar with a modern restaurant kitchen.
The kitchen prepares its seasonal menus on site from fresh, ethically sourced British ingredients. Pub classics sit alongside daily specials, and the Sunday Roast is a fixture of the weekend. Thursday steak nights have their own menu, and there are separate kids and dessert menus.
Six boutique rooms sit upstairs, so the pub doubles as a place to stay. The bar pours craft beers and cocktails, with a carefully chosen wine list. In winter a fire warms the room, and in summer guests head out to the leafy walled garden.
The Good Food Guide named The Victoria a Local Gem for 2026, describing an upmarket pub where business meetings, yoga regulars and families gather around the playground out back. Its write-up singles out good meat for the local rugby crowd and an Asian chopped salad for vegan diners, a range that shows how broad the menu is.

History
An upmarket pub with rooms that’s also a true local hangout. Here you’ll find folk having business meetings alongside yoga mums and smart families (drawn by the pretty playground out back). There's something for everyone, from pints and bar snacks in the old-fashioned bar (complete with sport on TV) to proper food from the restaurant menu (also available at the bar if you ask). With really good meat for the local rugby types and Asian chopped salad for their trendily vegan partners, it’s all very relaxed.
