Coach and Horses, Isleworth

If you're remotely superstitious, you might want to think twice before stepping inside The Coach and Horses pub in Isleworth - as some of the locals reckon it's haunted! 

Managed by Sharon Clement for just the last 10 weeks, this three-storey, ivy-clad pub is thought to date back to the early 17th Century when it was a coaching inn on a once-busy route to the West Country. 

It was built within Syon Park Estate by the Percy family and was also given a mention in Dickens' Oliver Twist. 

Today, it retains much of its old world character with wooden floors and open fires, but with a few modern twists. 

The pub has live jazz sessions every Monday from 8.30pm and a variety of live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

It serves sandwiches and pub snacks, as well as traditional pub grub such as bangers and mash and beer-battered fish and chips.

The pub also boasts a function room and a large beer garden (English summer permitting).

Opening Times: Daily, midday until 11pm, except on live music nights when it stays open 'til 1am.
