Star Tavern
6 Belgrave Mews West
London, SW1X 8HT
Directions
The Star is within walking distance of Victoria, Sloane Square, Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge. It's also walkable from Green Park, though it takes a little longer. It is located in a little cobbled street behind the German Embassy. Below are directions to get there from various places.
From Sloane Square
Essentially you want to take the north exit off the square and head up Sloane Street and then take a right down Pont Street till you get to the embassy, and then down the cobbled mews till you find the pub.
So, in detail: Come out of the station. Standing as you are with your back to the station you want to go up the road diagonally opposite on the right (so turn right, cross the crossing, and on the other side turn left and walk for a bit till you come to Sloane Street - a big wide street - on your right.) You want to keep going up Sloane street till you come to Pont Street, the junction of which has traffic lights on it. Turn right (east) down this street and keep going. The road will start to veer off to the left, and at this point you should see a large white building with black windows that is the German embassy on the left hand side (north) side of the road. In a big, tall, archway under the embassy there should be a cobbled street. Head up this street and The Star is on the end on the left.
From Victoria
Essentially you want to cross the road out of the station and then head up Lower then Upper Belgrave Street so you get to Belgrave Square. From here you want to take the second left exit to Pont Steet and turn right though the German embassy up the cobbled mews to the pub.
In detail: From the tube lines, follow the signs for the mainline station until you get to the surface. Turn left and walk past Starbucks and Pret a Manger - you want to get to Buckingham Palace Road which is the road from which the buses enter the bus station. Cross the road at the traffic lights and use the other set of traffic lights to the left to get off the mini-island you're on. You should now be in front of the deserted Usit campus office. Go left (west) along Buckingham Palace Road then take the first right (north) up into Lower Belgrave Street. Continue up this street, passing drinking establishments such as The Victoria on your left, and The Plumbers Arms. This road turns into Upper Belgrave Street - just keep on going until you come to Belgrave Square. Here, turn left and take the second exit off the square (the one that goes directly west) down Pont Street. Almost immediately on your right you should see the German embassy (a big white building with black windows) and a large phallic statue. There should be an archway here under the embassy leading up a cobbled street. Go up this street and The Star will be on the end on the left.
From Knightsbridge
Essentially you want to get out of the tube and then head south down Sloane Street until you come to Cadeogan Place. Turning down here you simply want to walk east for a short while until you come to the north end of a cobbled mews that the pub is located on.
In detail: To get out of the tube, take the exit signposted for Harvey Nichols or Knightsbridge (south side) or Sloane Street (east side) [it's signed differently in different places but these are all the same exit, to the right as you come out of the Tube barriers]. When you come out of the exit turn right round 180 degrees so that you are on the left pavement of Sloane Street heading south. Walk down here for a few minutes (past one left turning, which you should ignore) and turn left into Cadogan Place.
At this point you want to keep heading in a straight line (east). Don't follow Cadogan Place round to the right, but instead keep heading roughly in the same direction. Take the zebra crossing onto the right-hand pavement, and still heading in the same direction eastly direction cross over Lowndes Street into West Halkin Street. Follow West Halkin Street as it bends slightly to the right. Shortly you should see a cashmere shop on your right on the corner. Turn down this road and then you'll see an entry directly ahead of you into a cobbled street. The Star is in that cobbled street, on the right just after the entry.
