Nestled in the heart of Ealing, this pub has just been crowned the most beautiful pub in London at the prestigious CAMRA Pub Design Awards 2025.
Celebrating the finest examples of pub architecture across the UK, this award recognises venues that combine historical significance with stunning visual appeal and this West London pub’s recent refurbishment has truly set a new standard of being one of the prettiest boozers in the capital!
Step inside The Forester and you’ll feel like you’ve wandered into a slice of Edwardian history. The Forester is packed with gorgeous original features, but the real showstoppers are the fireplaces – think intricate tiles, polished wood, and all the old-school charm you could want for a cosy pint. Add to that the stunning floral Art Nouveau-style stained glass windows, and you’ve got a space that’s as colourful and welcoming as it is historic. When the sun shines through those windows, the whole place glows.
The award, judged by a panel of design and conservation experts alongside Historic England, highlights the importance of preserving London’s architectural heritage. The Forester’s “respectful refurbishment” has breathed new life into this street-corner local, maintaining its original charm while ensuring it remains a much-loved community pub.
Beyond its architectural beauty, The Forester offers an exceptional pub experience. The welcoming atmosphere, attentive staff, and carefully curated selection of cask ales and real ciders make it a favourite among locals.
You’ll find The Forester at 2 Leighton Road, Ealing. Whether you’re there for the fireplaces, the stained glass, or just the friendly vibe, this pub is a must-visit for anyone who loves a bit of beauty with their beer.
