The Churchill Arms in Kensington has been crowned London's Best Loved Local.
The Fuller's managed pub pipped 400 other pubs to the top award in Stella Artois' Love Your Local campaign, spearheaded by actor Jason Flemyng, to reward pubs that do the most for their communities.
Churchill Arms licensee Gerry O'Brien scooped a prize pot of £8,500. The runners-up prizes of £5,000 went to the Nightingale in Balham, the George Tavern in Stepney and the Punch Tavern in Fleet Street.
One of the judges and esteemed food and drink critic Charles Campion said: "The local pub should be the heart of any community and it was great to see so many pubs working so hard and achieving so much."
