Visitor Information

The Running Horse is a true gem of surviving pub tradition in the middle of Mayfair.
The original building was first transformed into a Tavern in 1738 and like many in its day seeking Royal protection, its name derived from the "Galloping Horse of Hanover". It has survived to become one of the oldest public houses in Grosvenor, Mayfair.
The Running Horse has a fine selection of drinks to go with the enticing menu in the ground floor bar area, or in the dining area upstairs - which also doubles as an ideal location for a private gathering or get together.
