Pubs in the area
As Londoners, we cherish our local pubs. Kentish Town has some great go-to spots. From smaller, more family run chains to larger pubs like WeatherSpoons, there is a pub for everyone in the area.
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bull & Gate | 389 Kentish Town Road Kentish Town NW5 2TJ | Oct 2023 – The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year – Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative. Or walk from Kentish Town West or Gospel Oak. |
| Bull & Last | 168 Highgate Road Kentish Town NW5 1QS | Reopened on 25/02/20 after a long period of closure for an extensive refurbishment and now has 6 letting bedrooms. In Oct 2023 only one cask beer was available which rotates monthly or bi monthly depending on popularity – Five Points Best today. On the keg, they have the So Solid Brew from Five Points, especially made for the pub. |
| Fiddlers | 1 Malden Road Kentish Town NW5 3HS | Built circa 1845, essentially a music venue and no longer a pub – their website lists the bands and each night is paid entry. Grade II listed. |
| Lord Palmerston | 33 Dartmouth Park Hill Kentish Town NW5 1HU | This is an old establishment given a modern treatment, that nods in the direction of gastro without excluding or alienating those only wanting a drink. It features a central bar and a conservatory; the windowed frontage creates a light, airy feel to the drinking experience while the high ceilings add to the impression of space. Food serving times – see their website, from an extensive menu. Outdoor seating available both on Dartmouth Park Hill frontage and in the enclosed rear courtyard. Changed hands in 2015 and became part of the Young’s managed estate in 2017. |
| Rose & Crown | 71-73 Torriano Avenue Kentish Town NW5 2SG | This pub is quite unique in the immediate area. Started life as the Rose and Crown, built in the 1930s for Watney Combe Reid, it was demolished and rebuilt in 1937, the building nestles between terraced houses. For decades it served as an off-licence, then traded as The Torriano for a number of years with the licensees fighting hard to stop the pub being closed. It did close in 2014 but only briefly and it has re-opened under its original name. |
| Assembly House | 292 Kentish Town Road London NW5 2TG | 28/09/23 – 2 cask beers on, Morland Old Golden Hen and a GK seasonal – nice to see. In a subsequent visit on 13/10/23 we were informed that GK IPA would no longer be on tap – instead it would be a Morland branded beer + a seasonal. |
| Dartmouth Arms | 35 York Rise London NW5 1SP | 30/01/23 – no cask beer. But this has chnaged – March 2023 – One real ale available on 3 March 2023: By the Horns “Hop Forward” 4.0% |
| Gipsy Queen | 166 Malden Road London NW5 4BS | Re-opened on 29 June 2015 by Susie Clarke & Joal Czopor of The Grafton Arms as a free-of-tie Enteprise lease. Now under new management. The same people run the Victoria Stakes which is located at the foot of Muswell Hill and Alexandra Palace. |
| Grafton | 20 Prince of Wales Road London NW5 3LG | Oct 2023 – The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year – Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative tube. Or simply walk from Kentish Town West. |
| Junction Tavern | 101 Fortess Road London NW5 1AG | Changed in 2022 to a managed Stonegate pub which has seen a reduction in the cask range. A long time has passed since it was the Branch Pub of the Year. Seem to be 2 cask beers on – Sharp’s Doom Bar might rotate with the 2 listed. |
| Lion & Unicorn | 42 Gaisford Street London NW5 2ED | Oct 2023 – The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year – Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative. Or walk from Kentish Town West or Gospel Oak. |
| Parakeet | 256 Kentish Town Road London NW5 2AA | Oct 2023 – The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year – Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative. Or walk from Kentish Town West or Gospel Oak. |
| Pineapple | 51 Leverton Street London NW5 2NX | The Northern Lane station is closed until Easter next year – Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative. Or walk from Kentish Town West or Gospel Oak. |
| Southampton Arms | 139 Highgate Road London NW5 1LE | Small boozer with a fire and pew style seating, a long thin bar which leads to a small garden at the rear. The ale selection is constantly changing and comes from small independent breweries across the UK. |
| Vine | 86 Highgate Road London NW5 1PB | 12/11/22 – No cask beer tonight. Vine Climber beer (GK house) turned round. No sign of locale. Visited again Jan 2023 – just the badged beer, LocAle listing removed. |
