England made light work of Mexico last night and safely booked their place in the World Cup Quarter Finals!

Although we weren’t open for last night’s game, we’ll be back in full voice on Saturday as England take on Norway.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s already booked with us. Incredibly, we’d reached our maximum capacity for group bookings by 1pm today!

From this point on, we’ll be operating on a WALK-INS ONLY basis.

Don’t worry though, we’ve got plenty of room across the pub, so if you’re planning on joining us, just get down early, grab yourself a pint, and soak up what promises to be another cracking atmosphere.

No reservations. No fuss. Just football, great beer and hopefully another famous England victory.

Roll on Saturday!

COME ON ENGLAND!

England v Mexico – Tonight’s Game

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision not to open for the England v Mexico match tonight.

Whilst it’s fantastic that pubs across the country have been granted an extension to serve until 5am, for us it’s simply not practical. By the time everything is factored in, it’s likely to be more hassle than it’s worth.

We’re also very conscious that we’re in the heart of a residential area, and it’s important to us that we continue to show respect to our neighbours, especially those with young families who’ll (hopefully!) be fast asleep while the rest of us are biting our nails.

That said…….we’ll definitely be open for England’s next game……..after we send Mexico packing tonight, of course! 😉

Enjoy the match wherever you’re watching it, and we’ll see you all for the quarter-final.

COME ON ENGLAND!

Heading to BST Hyde Park to see the King of Country tonight? Start your evening at The Heron!

If you’re making your way to BST Hyde Park, you’ll be pleased to know that The Heron Paddington is just a 9-minute walk from the concert entrance. Whether you’re heading to see Garth Brooks, meeting friends before the show, or looking for the perfect pre-concert pub near Hyde Park, we’ve got you covered.

Enjoy a perfectly poured Guinness, an ice-cold pint of your favourite lager, a refreshing spritz, or one of our handcrafted cocktails before making the short stroll to the biggest country music event in London.

It’s only a 9-minute walk……but to be on the safe side, we’d recommend adding an extra minute for every two pints you have! 😂🍻

Enjoy the concert!!!!

BIG NEWS FROM THE HERON!

We are incredibly proud to announce the Grand Opening of our Rooftop Swimming Pool from 12 noon today! ☀️

After months of planning, we’re thrilled to bring London’s most exclusive rooftop pool experience to a traditional British pub. We expect queues around the block as people rush to experience this one-of-a-kind attraction, so we’d strongly recommend arriving early.

The good news? You won’t have to wait empty-handed. Grab one of our refreshing Spritzes, cocktails, or an ice-cold pint while you patiently wait for your turn to take the plunge.

Swimming costumes are optional…….but a sense of humour is essential. 😂

Wimbledon is just around the corner, and with this glorious weather sticking around, there’s only one thing for it…….a classic Pimm’s Cup.

Packed with fresh strawberries, oranges, cucumber and mint, this iconic British summer cocktail is as refreshing as they come. Light, fruity and made for sunny afternoons in the garden, it’s the perfect companion for watching the tennis, catching up with friends, or simply soaking up the sunshine.

A true taste of summer, and if we’re honest, it’s one of our personal favourites.

Pop in, grab a Pimm’s, find a sunny spot and let the British summertime begin.

☀️ It’s going to be an absolute scorcher today! ☀️

While we all love a bit of sunshine, it’s important to stay safe in the heat and keep yourself hydrated.

If you’re out and about in Paddington and need a top-up, feel free to pop into The Heron, tap water is available all day for anyone who needs it.

Whether you’re enjoying a cold pint in the garden, a refreshing spritz, or simply looking for a shady spot to take a break from the heat, we’ve got you covered.

Look after yourselves, wear the sun cream, drink plenty of water, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! 🌞

The atmosphere for England’s opening World Cup game last week was absolutely incredible!

Now it’s time to do it all again tonight!

We’re not taking reservations, but don’t let that put you off. Between our spacious beer garden and the pub itself, there’s plenty of room for everyone to join the action.

Our advice? Get down early, grab yourself a great seat, order your favourite pint, and soak up the pre-match atmosphere before kick-off.

Let’s make tonight even louder than last week and show our support for the Three Lions!

C’MON ENGLAND! ⚽️🏆🍺
