Music nights Thursdays and Sundays. Converted from a grim, 1970s bunker of a pub: now much more welcoming. Refurbished again 2019 and under independent management. |
| Masons Arms | 665 Harrow Road London NW10 5NU | This pub was given a beautiful revamp. It has retained lots of the original features and the introduction of atmospheric lighting and chandeliers lend it a look of glamour. The staff are all very friendly. |
| William | 786 Harrow Road London NW10 5JX | The venue has been taken on by LOCI Pubs adding to the 3 they already run in North London.
