The Churchill Arms
The Churchill Arms is a public house at 119 Kensington Church Street on the corner with Campden Street, Notting Hill, London. There has been a pub on the site since at least the late nineteenth century. Previously known as the "Church-on-the-Hill", the pub received its current name after the Second World War.[1] It is known for its exuberant floral displays, and extravagant Christmas displays in the winter,[2] and has been described as London's most colourful pub.[3]

The Churchill Arms is managed by Fuller's[4] and has a Winston Churchill interior theme.[5] The Churchill Arms claims to have been the first London pub with a Thai restaurant, having served such food since the early 1990s or earlier.[6] The Thai restaurant is decorated with live flowers and plants.
The pub is decorated with all types of things associated with Winston Churchill,[7] and falsely claims that Churchill made wartime broadcasts from the venue.[6] Churchill's grandparents, the 7th Duke of Marlborough and Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane, were patrons of the pub in the 19th century.[6]
