Safe! Finally a pub that feels like its landlord understands our pain. The Windsor Castle has long been a favorite of ours since the days when you could purchase a solitary sausage to eat at the bar with your pint for a quid.
Its still full of posh types and has those tiny 5 ft doors inside but head outside and its like entering Smoking Narnia. Tables upon tables, each with their own heater some covered by expansive awnings and some humble umbrellas. The walls enclosing the courtyard are covered in ivy, wall flowers and even fairy lights which add to the whole 'magical mystery smoking land' feel.
SMOKING - FUCK YEAH!
Location - Notting Hill, 114 Campden Hill Road
