Centuries of Hospitality

The Flask on Flask Walk dates to 1663 and once welcomed William Hogarth and John Constable. The Holly Bush, tucked up a quiet lane near the Everyman Cinema, retains its original Victorian layout of intimate wood-panelled rooms. These pubs are Grade II listed buildings as much as they are drinking establishments.

Views and Terraces

Several Hampstead pubs offer outdoor terraces with views over the Heath or the London skyline — rare and precious in this part of the city. The warm months see tables spill onto pavements, and even the colder seasons are managed with outdoor heaters and snug corners indoors.
