The Six Bells is at 148 Brentford High Street and and was rebuilt in 1904.

It is locally listed In Grand Union Canal & Boston Manor Conservation Area; Thames Policy Area.

It was licensed by at least 1722 which was later granted to Fuller Smith & Turner from 1815.

The pub gets its name from the six bells at St Lawrence's church that were rung for special occasions and when Royalty travelled through the High Street.

It is mentioned in Alfred Pearce's poem of Fifty Pubs on Brentford's High Street published in 1948.

The pub, which was a live music venue, has struggled and today sadly stands boarded up, its future unknown.
