Zetland Arms

The Zetland Arms is a pub in South Kensington, London, on the corner of Old Brompton Road and Bute Street.

It dates from the mid-1840s. The pub is one of the few surviving original buildings from when this area was first developed.

It is claimed by the current owners, the pub chain Taylor Walker, that Charlie Chaplin bought the pub for his brother Marlon and his mother. On pubshistory.com, it is noted that "According to the pub sign, the 1880 landlord Sid Chaplin was the older half brother of Charlie Chaplin the film star", and the 1880 Post Office Directory confirms that a Sid Chaplin was landlord in 1880.
