    Wicked pub
    Current
    The atmosphere of this great Victorian pub changes. During the day it's a great place, being very large in size, to find a quiet corner to chat with your pals.
    In the evenings it's lively and funky, but good service, lots of sexy guys (and glammed up girls!). I'll always keep coming back.
    Oh yes, and I saw Gwyneth Paltrow and her hubby in here a few months ago (I'm told his cousin lives in the Gothic church conversion nearby..)
    You know, this was where the Rolling Stones played in 1969, so a bit of history behind it.
    I'd recommend it highly.

    Best Sports Bar in London
    Current
    There's no doubt that this is the best sports bar in London. Contrary to some of the other reviews, I don't think this place is particularly dirty, and in fact the mezzanine area is quite cozy. While it will get crowded during a big match, and it's not a gastropub, somewhere I'd take a date, or just a quiet local, when it comes to sport, there is no better place to watch a game than F3K.

    Great pace to watch Sport in West Ken
    Current
    A stylish bar/pub with food.
    The place has been in the area for ages.
    It is just next door to West Kensington Tube station. A great place to watch sport on the big screen. Has been renovated only a few years back so still up to date.

    A4 dirty pub
    Current
    There has been a comment to this effect before but I am stepping in with a review to reduce its visible rating - thats how this place works.

    This place is not much better than a Walkabout - in fact its a bit dirtier and in a worse location.

    Found another review that is quite funny so will share: -

    "Like the idea of having "The Famous" actually in the name of the gaff...one way to get a rep i guess...better than calling it "The Mediocre Cavernous Sports Themed Tip" (which it is).

    "Gonna take that on board when i finally open my "yet to be decided" themed sh!thole. May call it "The f*cking brilliant, such and such" or "The unbelievably good, thingy bar""

    West London sports pub
    Current
    The Famous Three Kings was my local for 3 years, and is probably the best sports pub in London. It is right next to West Kensington tube station, houses a gazillion large-screen HD plasma TV screens and shows every possible sporting event imaginable. It can get very packed on a busy match day, but has a great atmosphere. If you like sports but can't get to the match yourself, then this is the place for you. They have an excellent loungeing area upstairs, with VERY comfortable sofas and chairs (I can vouch for this, having fallen asleep in them a few times...) and, of course, more plasma screens. They have an OK pub food menu, serving "modern" stuff like nachos (which are my favourite), potato wedges and satay chicken skewers. Not a place to eat your main meal for the evening, but enough to keep an evening of sports and beer with mates going.
