A must-visit pub on Portobello

A friendly, welcoming atmosphere and a wide range of cask ales will greet you as you leave the hustle and bustle of legendary Portobello Road to step into our vibrant dog-friendly pub in the heart of Notting Hill.

Serving up the best of British classics, such as fish & chips and Sunday roasts, you’ll be sure to enjoy the quintessential London pub experience with us.

Our outdoor seating and large windows provide one of the best people-watching spots right in the heart of Portobello Market and Notting Hill. We’re also just a short walk from both Notting Hill Gate and Ladbroke Grove tube stations, making it easy to reach us from across London.

Dan and the team can’t wait to welcome you.

Our iconic history

Situated right in the epicentre of Portobello Road, we’ve been the colourful home to great antique dealers, musicians and artists alike since 1854.

Our legacy boasts a cameo in the opening scenes of Notting Hill, filmed in 1999, as Hugh Grant walks down Portobello Road to his second-hand bookshop where he meets Julia Roberts.

Then, in 2008, a BBC camera crew visited… along with Adele. Yep, THE Adele.

She was here to explain why our pub was a fundamental part of her journey to superstardom (queue the proud moment tears).

Adele gave a tour of the pub, pointing out memorable spots from her younger years, including the table where she once sat while breaking up with her boyfriend via text. This same boyfriend was the inspiration for songs on her debut album, 19.

So if you’re looking for some star-studded inspiration for your next big move, stop by, enjoy a pint and soak up the atmosphere.

We promise it’s worth it.

Planning a party?

We’ve got just the space for you.

With a range of areas on the ground floor, either tucked slightly away from the main bar or right in the midst of the pub buzz, you’ll be sure to enjoy the most of the atmosphere when booking for a group.

Looking for something a little more ‘VIP’?

Our first-floor private dining room is likely the spot for you – equipped with its own bar, toilet facilities and a great view overlooking Portobello Market.

Meetings

Our first-floor dining room isn’t just for parties, though.

Serving up tea, coffee, pastries and lunch, we’re the ultimate day-away-from-the-office for your next meeting.

We’re fully equipped with a large screen and HDMI connection, pens, paper and whatever else you need for some blue sky thinking.

Watch the World Cup at The Duke of Wellington

Here at The Duke, we’re super excited for the biggest sporting event of the year.

We’ll be showing every game of the FIFA World Cup 2026 live on our big screens in the pub. Expect great food, perfect pints and an electric atmosphere that you just can’t match at home.

It’s the place to be in Notting Hill this summer.

Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you want to bag the best tables, make sure to book ahead.

Our outside space

With a handful of tables outside, we’re the best Portobello pit-stop when you need to re-fuel. These coveted spots fill up quickly, so snap them up when you can! First come, first served.

A range of cocktails

It’s always cocktail o’clock at The Duke and we’ve stirred up quite the storm – from classics to refreshing new twists and alcohol-free options, there’s something for everyone.

We welcome everyone

All the family are encouraged to visit our friendly pub, no matter their age – or, on our favourite occasions, even those with four legs. Furry friends welcome, dog bowls provided.

What our guests have to say

Our bartender was absolutely fabulous. We would recommend the Duke of Wellington based solely on charm and charisma. That being said, the Welsh rarebit was perfect, house made sausage, mash and cabbage terrific, and the overall experience brilliant.

Robert

I’ve been a local at The Duke of Wellington on Portobello Road for the past eight years, and the bartenders are a huge part of why I keep coming back. Their customer service is exceptional - warm, attentive, and genuinely personable. They always make you feel welcome, remember your usual, and bring an easy, upbeat energy to the pub. It’s rare to find bartenders who combine professionalism with such authenticity, but they do it effortlessly. Truly top-notch.

Seema

Their friendly, attentive service made our visit truly memorable. The atmosphere is warm, the drinks are excellent, and the pub as a whole delivers a fantastic experience. Thank you for a great time - highly recommended!
