CLIFTON

96 Clifton Hill, NW8 0JT

020 7372 3427

12.00 - 22.30

Adnams Bitter, Fuller’s London Pride, one beer from Sharps and one guest (range changes with seasons)

Originally a hunting lodge, this nook and cranny pub is around 200 years old. Used by Edward VII to meet Lilly Langtry, it reportedly changed its name to “Hotel” as royalty could not visit “pubs”. The nice ambience is created by multiple areas based around an ornate bar with carving and bronze insets. Enter the pub through a porch with seating, into the small, comfy front bar with settees. The side bar has a small fireplace and bar stalls. Walk through, noting the large Assirati’s Temperance Bar mirror, into a stand-up drinking section that leads to two sunken seating areas. The left area has more comfy settees around a fireplace (television in the corner). In the right area, there are games available from Scrabble to Trivial Pursuit. More steps down lead into a wooden seating area and the conservatory dining room; open 12.00 -15.00 and 18.30 - 21.15 Mon - Sat; 12.00 - 16.00 and 18.30 - 21.00 Sun. Bar snacks are available at similar times. There is an outside patio area for summer drinking and smokers. Underground: St John’s Wood. Buses: 139, 189.

LORDS TAVERN

St John's Wood Road, NW8 8QP

020 7616 8687

Mon - Fri 11.00 – 21.00 (Sat/Sun 16.00 unless hired for a function).

Marston’s Burton Bitter, Pedigree

There has been a hostelry on this site since 1868 when the architect Edward Paraire, who specialised in pubs and chapels, designed a building, located within the ground, with a graceful wrought iron balcony. His building was controversially demolished almost a century later, when the SW corner Of Lord’s was redeveloped and the current building was built, next to the Grace Gate, in 1967. Antiseptically clean venue, with one single room including a restaurant area. Good for viewing cricket, obviously, and there is seating at the front heated terrace to view St John’s Wood Road as well! Sports TV on but with sound down. Music pumping through and this is extra loud in the (very nice) loos. Expensive bar snacks are available (baguettes start at £7.00). Restaurant prices start at £6.50 for starters and £11.50 for mains. The whole venue can be hired out for events. As part of Lord’s cricket ground complex, the Tavern is closed to the public on “major matchdays”. London Underground - St John's Wood, Maida Vale. Bus – 13, 82, 113.

Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale

On the corner with Townshend Rd., originally built in 1810, this one-bar pub with a small raised area set aside for dining sits in a quiet, tree-lined residential area with Regent's Park, London Zoo, Primrose Hill and Lord’s cricket ground all within a short walking distance. Tables are placed on the pavement outside and on Saturday night a live band might be found playing. The pub has 5 B&B rooms, three double and two twin, all with en-suite showers, TV and tea/coffee making facilities. For the area, the accommodation represents good value for money. Free wireless internet access. Food is served from a Thai/English menu daily 12.00 - 15.00 and 18.00 - 22.00, Sun 12.00 - 16.00 (including traditional roasts). Underground: St John’s Wood.

ORDNANCE

29 Ordnance Hill, NW8 6PS

No Real Ale

More a gastro pub now and although owned by Yorkshire brewery Sam Smith, it's one of their outlets that does not have cask beer. Also a shame they don't stock any of Sam's interesting bottled beers. Nice interior though and pleasant garden around the outside of the building.

SALT HOUSE:

63 Abbey Road, NW8 0AE

020 7328 6626

Mon - Sat 11.00 - 00.00, Sun 12.00 - 23.00

Greene King Abbot

The name was chosen after a visit to a Salt Mine in Poland, and the fact that the pub looks like a house when viewed from Belgrave Gardens. Bistro-style corner pub with a wooden floor and large distressed wooden windows letting in natural light during the day but in the evening the lighting is subdued. The light coloured walls sport blackboards advertising cocktails and the hire of the upstairs private dining room. The seating is mixed, varying from settees snuggled in the corner by the bar, to large wooden tables with benches and an eclectic mix of chairs. In the evening, the pub has a welcoming appearance brightened by the carriage lights on the outside, which lights up the outside seating/smoking area warmed by patio heaters. This is separated from the pavement by potted bushes. Food is served 12.00 - 22.30 daily and there is a separate restaurant, which has an attractive outside eating deck area. Menu is fairly standard bistro fayre and note that the service charge can be added to food ordered in the bar but it is discretionary. Underground: St John’s Wood. Buses: 139, 189.

Mon - Sat 11.00 - 23.00, Sun 12.00 - 22.30

Fuller's London Pride, Flower's IPA

A central dark wooden bar creating various separate drinking areas adds to the intimacy of this traditional corner pub. The long right side of the pub is comfortably seated with coffee coloured walls and rather strange grey pillars; note the tiled fireplace. The front bar is predominantly standing but look to the top left to see the small clock: “Grand Central Terminal New York” on the grill work that dominants the bar. Leading to the left, is a small lounge with a grand fireplace with gilt candlesticks and the hideaway back snug. There are two silent televisions and a big screen for major events. Some muzak. On sunny days, the light streams in through coloured Toby and Charrington branded glass in the windows. When warm, you can sit outside in the patio area admiring the white former church in this quiet part of St Johns Wood. Underground: St John’s Wood.
