At 8 Kensington High Street in 1871 census (when listed as the Cumberland Arms) and earlier. This house stood on the North side of Kensington High Street, at its eastern end, between Kensington Palace Avenue and Palace Green. It was called the Half Way House in the 1861 Census, but nowhere else. Street numbering changed from consecutive down the north side to even numbers only in the 1870s. The pub was offered at auction with vacant possession in May 1951, and was demolished a few years later when the Royal Garden Hotel was built in 1964. * This address becomes part of the Bodega chain of wine and spirit merchants between about 1950 and 1953.
