Nestled in the heart of 100 Kellogg Lane, a former Kellogg’s cereal factory, Beer Kitchen is the definition of a hidden gem when it comes to dining in London.

Pub Miloš
Located steps away from Canada Life Place, one of London’s premiere entertainment venues, Pub Miloš is a local favourite, especially before a game or concert.
