The Holly Bush is one of the older pubs in London dating from the time when Hampstead was a country town.

Inside this listed building, its stripped wooden interior and slightly ramshackle atmosphere lend it the charming aspect of a Nineteenth Century coaching inn.

That said, it can get a little crowded at times (although we have spent many a Saturday afternoon and evening here without suffering unduly) and some of the punters do seem like parodies of Guardian-readers.

But there is something deeply fine about this place - maybe the history, maybe the wooden booths and log fire, or maybe the good beers - which engenders wit and conviviality. Just avoid the rather bland renovation in the back room.

NEAREST STATION: Hampstead station

FEATURES: Dog friendly, function room available, outdoor seating
