Drayton Arms, Grade II listed pub in Earl's Court, London, England.
The Drayton Arms is a Grade II listed pub in Earl's Court featuring traditional dark wood, high ceilings, and large windows that flood the interior with daylight. Upstairs sits an independent theatre space where live performances and comedy shows take place.
The building dates from the Victorian era when it functioned as a traditional drinking house and later earned Grade II listed status. This recognition honours its architectural qualities and its role in London's pub heritage.
The pub downstairs hosts theatre productions and comedy shows in an upstairs performance space, creating a venue where drinking and watching live performance happen under the same roof.
The venue sits on Old Brompton Road with standard daytime hours and extended weekend openings for theatre performances. Seating is limited both downstairs and upstairs, so arriving early helps secure a spot for both dining and shows.
The venue operates as one of London's rare pub theatres, where patrons can enjoy drinks downstairs and move upstairs to watch live performances in the same evening. This dual-purpose setup makes it distinct from standalone pubs or theatres.
