Drink in the Holly Bush at Hampstead

It may not be London's oldest pub, or the one with the best stories, but it is lovely, and that is enough to earn it a place here.


It has been in it's current spot at the top of Hampstead since at least 1807, when it was converted from the stables of a house on Hollybush Hill in Hampstead called 'The Mount', and nowadays it's country pub style is a welcome haven from some of the harder-edged Central London Pubs. Good food, good beer, good atmosphere.

For more information, and a menu visit the pub's website at http://www.hollybushpub.com/. Also, if you want to eat on a weekend it's wise to book.
