For those of you who like both celebrities and pubs, you will be very interested in finding out which A-list stars own them and have done so in the past. If you are based in London, or happen to be visiting, why not visit singer Ed Sheeran’s Bertie Blossoms tavern which is situated on the fashionable Portobello Road in Notting Hill. The two-storey bar is managed by his business partner Stuart Camp.
Another London celebrity owned pub worth checking out is Porte Noire in London’s Kings Cross. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of one of their famous owners, none other than Idris Elba. According to its website, “Porte Noire was born out of a shared passion for wine between Frenchman and oenophile, David Farber and Renaissance man, Idris Elba, well known actor and musician who is best known for his roles in the Wire, Luther and Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.”
If you happen to live in West Sussex or are visiting for the weekend, why not check out The Half Moon, Kirdford, which is owned by supermodel Jodie Kidd.
