The Phene

The Phene is a historic pub located at 9 Phene Street in Chelsea, London, designed by architect John Samuel Phene. Known for its vibrant atmosphere, it was famously referred to as 'George Best's second home' by The Daily Telegraph. After facing potential closure and a controversial redevelopment proposal in 2012, the pub was saved in 2013 when The City Pub Company acquired it for £4 million, marking their first venture in London. This establishment offers a unique blend of architectural charm and cultural significance, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers alike.
