Builders Arms: Pub in Kensington, London

The Builders Arms is a place where a regular night does most of the work. Its programme leans towards quizzes, and that says a lot. Quiz nights bring the same faces back. Teams form, names get picked, and after a few visits the room starts to feel familiar. If you like a bit of competition with your company, this is a good one to know. Come with a small team or come alone and find one. Quiz nights are social by design, so strangers tend to mix quickly. Expect a midweek crowd that takes trivia seriously but not too seriously. Bring general knowledge, a bit of nerve, and a willingness to be wrong about the capital of something.
