Drink at the Elephant and Castle, Kensington

The clocks have gone back, and autumn has truly arrived, so it is now time to hunt out London's cosiest pubs, so you'll have somewhere to retreat to as the night draws in and winter arrives. Last night, your author popped in to the Elephant and Castle on Holland Street in Kensington and was very pleased with what he found.
Sometimes finds Nicholson's Pubs a bit patchy, but this one is a gem, with friendly staff and cosy seating which seems in keeping, and involves lots of dark wood. There were ales and food and it was just right for the autumn. It felt like a proper local pub, even though it's only a short walk from Kensington High Street.
