Food Scene
A perennial Hampstead favourite thanks to its revered Sunday lunches, there is also a great deal of appreciation from walkers on the nearby Heath for the Wells’ hearty, traditional cooking, which includes a burger that those in the know frequently cite as one of the area’s best. It also happens to be owned by Beth Coventry, the sister of long-serving Evening Standard restaurant critic Fay Maschler and is open seven days a week, 365 days a year.

This Spanish-influenced spot is much more on trend with contemporary London dining than many of its neighbours. The bread comes from Hedone, and the menu features small plates like courgette flowers, goat’s cheese and honey and Iberico pig’s cheeks with parsnip puree; diners tend to leave this place very happy.

For those who like to visit somewhere of reassuring and old-school familiarity — Le Gavroche without the frills, or, being honest, the thrills — then the French stalwart La Cage Imaginaire will serve. Frogs’ legs and French onion soup to start, then beef bourgignon or pan-fried seabass are classic, typical mains.

This Italian spot serves a range of salads and pastas, but to be honest it would be missing the point if to not come to L’Antica one of London’s finest Neapolitan pizzas. Choose from a ‘Dante Aligheri’ (a posh Margherita) to the more full-on ‘Massimo Troisi,’ at around £10-12 on average.

Drinks & Nightlife
Have a closer look at the Camden Town Brewery logo and you’ll spot a coloured horseshoe. It was in the basement of The Horseshoe that the business was born. There’s no surprise then that brews such as their Camden Ink stout and sparkling pale ale are served on tap here, not forgetting a wide range of other options if these tipples don’t take your fancy. The gastro-pub also boasts an admirable wine list, with prices starting at £4 a glass.

Slick décor, full of Hampstead’s trendies and well groomed punters, The Gallery is a neighbourhood bar that is always buzzing. Break in the new week and have a laugh over a drink at their quiz night, held every Monday. Make the most of the whisky and live jazz nights on a rolling basis, and let loose with DJ sets at the weekend.

As the pub proudly declares on the exterior, this charming old pub has been serving Hammersmith’s punters since 1585.
It’s welcomed a few famous faces during that time too, including Charles Dickens who “found inspiration” within the Spaniards Inn. The dark wood interiors and open fire help instil all the charm and gravitas you’d expect from a place this historic. However, the contemporary menu is helping to keep the Spaniards Inn firmly planted in the 21st century: You’ll fresh seasonal dishes and stylish takes on pub classics on the menu, as well as a pretty wide selection of cask beer at the bar.
Definitely one to try if you like your London pubs steeped in history.

This old-school 18th century pub, which stands at the top Holly Mount, is a great option for drinkers in NW3.
The Holly Bush’s handsome, but cosy front rooms - complete with an open fire - are comfortable places to enjoy one of the ten tap options, five cask ales, or one of the many spirits from the well-stocked bar.
Move through to the dining rooms at the back of the pub and upstairs, and you’ll find welcoming spaces to enjoy a hearty menu of pub favourites and good seafood options. If you’re feeling brave and can bag yourself a seat, the small outside space at the front of the pub is a nice space to take in a summer’s evening too.

The Roebuck is a stylish 19th century pub, located just a quick walk from Hampstead Heath and Belsize Park.
This drinking haunt - complete with roaring open fire and a well-used piano - has the feel of a really smart, but comfy country pub, which makes it a nice spot for a relaxed drink.
The bar seems to be overflowing with beer, spirits, cocktails and wine options, which are popular with the Roebuck’s wide-ranging clientele. While the rooms are cosy are welcoming, the garden space hosts barbeque’s over the summer, making this a nice stopping-off point all year round.

My favourite local pub. Great food, great atmosphere, huge (heated) beer garden and regular live music. The Sunday roast is amazing but it gets busy so best to book!

An amazing bit of wilderness on our doorstep. More than a park, you can get lost in the woods, swim in the ponds or see all of London from the top of Parliament Hill.
