William IV Review
The mock-Tudor frontage is deceptively local boozer like, but on the inside, the William tells an entirely different story. A well-scrubbed, oak-furnished interior with plenty of seating and fairy-light adornments plays host to the music, media, marketing set from local Ladbroke Grove and Queen's Park.
The music is in the background and the drinks list is unimaginative, but it's down-to-earth fun that is top of the agenda. The slightly dodgy, out-of-the-way location gives William IV the cool, urban appeal that the 'creative' types are constantly seeking, though the 11 o'clock licence is a bit of a disappointment. More beer than Bellini, but worth the walk nevertheless.

“I've lived in the Kensal Green area since the late 80s, well before this local re-opened as the pub/restaurant it is now, and it was a very welcome addition and change to what was on offer in the area.
Aside from the weekday menu which is mainly tapas, they also serve a great traditional Sunday lunch which is brilliant as it saves me having to cook when my parents visit!
Other local places have fancier menus, more extensive drinks selections and are in more obvious settings for the type of place this venue is, but for quality of food and drink, friendliness and efficiency of service, atmosphere, aesthetics, value for money and general fun factor, William IV is hard to beat.”

“Great bar. I live pretty local, so i have enjoyed a relaxed pint and some grub here on a weekday night, and I have also partied hard here at the weekend.
Friday nights now have a happy hour until 8pm, so last time i was there I got well and truly sloshed and it didnt even cost much! The music is wicked, the crowd is fit and funky, and I reckon this is one of the best bars in West London.”

“Quality place for a night out! I was at William IV last weekend and the place was rocking. The dj (some fit blond) had the place bumping and grinding and there was plenty of eye candy to keep the lads occupied!
Service was great - one of the bartenders was educating me on the merits of their extensive tequila selection.
Highly recommended.”

Food
The Spanish tapas menu is as comprehensive and as adventurous as you would find in Spain. It is good value and the portions are generous. The tapas menu is perfectly matched by an informative and enticing wine list and if requested a cocktail list.
