De Burgh Arms

Ever glimpsed a pub on the silver screen? The De Burgh Arms has. This very pub, the De Burgh Arms, starred in the 1953 film “Genevieve”. It’s not just a piece of cinematic history though. The De Burgh Arms is a Grade II listed building, a testament to its historical significance. Located on the High Street in Yiewsley, next to West Drayton station, the De Burgh Arms boasts a spacious interior. A central bar anchors the layout, leading to several distinct areas, each with its own character. Fancy a game of pool? Or perhaps some music from the jukebox? The De Burgh Arms caters to all tastes. There’s even a large-screen TV for the sports fans and a separate function room for special occasions. The De Burgh Arms has seen its fair share of landlords. Interestingly, the current licensees previously ran the Paddington Packet Boat. The pub’s history stretches back to the late 16th century. While the main front and two rear wings date back to this period, a remodel around 1840 gave the De Burgh Arms its current character. You can still see evidence of this in the early C19 sash windows and the cast-iron first-floor balcony, supported by the wooden posts of the loggia. So, next time you’re near West Drayton station, pop into the De Burgh Arms. Raise a glass to its cinematic past, its historic architecture, and the stories it holds within its walls.
