Did you know

Despite the building being nearly a century old as a pub, its multi-room Victorian-era layout has remained largely untouched even after Fuller's took over in 2010, and CAMRA lists its interior as of special national historic interest.

Local tip

It sits up a quiet hill away from Hampstead's main high street, so it works well as a stop after walking Hampstead Heath rather than as a standalone destination.
