Very popular pub at the north end of Hampstead Heath, and popular with weekend walkers and picnickers. You’ll find it where the road narrows at an old toll gate spot.

It’s Grade II-listed: large, old, and traditional. It has exposed beams, several separate rooms, and lots of outdoor seating for the nice weather. The food is very good, and there are nice ales on tap. It’s the sort of pub you’d expect to find out in the country.

Popular with dog walkers, you’ll easily get a bowl of water for your four-legged friend.

The perfect Sunday lunch pub. Walk on the Heath, check. Cosy interior/huge beer garden, check. Super sized hearty British fare, check.

I absolutely love this pub but if you’re going on a Sunday you should try and book a table (good luck) and get there early. Although Sunday is the best day to go it just gets crazy busy in the afternoon and that’s why I can’t give it 5 stars. They often run out of food and the staff are excruciatingly slow in dealing with the chaos.

The bar can get packed 4 deep and North London types get rude and pushy, demanding they’ve waited longer than you when they’ve only just waltzed up to the bar waiving their gold cards.

The strength of the place is that I still love going here despite the odd bad Sunday, to the point that I’ve once been stuck trying to order for 35 mins, only communicating with my friends at the table outside via mobile phone.

This is a lovely fairly big pub, in Hampsted heith. There is a nice, large garden with benches and tables, and the food is wondeful. They serve a variety of pub food, aswell as favoured side dishes and snacks such as humous dips. However, even though this is a upclass place, which is popular, always fully packed especially on a sunday, you somehow get the sense that it is a little pretentious, and the people are a little snobby. This is only personnel opinion, but the prices aren't cheap. The food is nice, but you are lucky to get a table, and the parking is always jammed. However, the scenery is nice, near to Hampsted heith, so if you fancy a walk after your huge lunch then this is possible. Recommended.

The Spaniards Inn is the kind of pub you'll find in wikipedia. Amongst the list of 'Notable Patrons' from the wiki site are: Dick Turpin, Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Bram Stoker, John Keats, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx.

The whole place is practically made of oak and as the night goes on it gets rather tempting to stumble around pretending you're an outlaw from an half-remembered semi-historical tale, shuffling through sawdust on your way to have some hanky-panky with a mead-soaked wench.... then running around the heath naked accusing innocent ghosts of being Dick Turpin.

There's Weston's ciders on tap as well as real ales and foreign bottles. Food and all that malarkey too.

The beer garden is large and suited to smokers.

Not cheap. Nope.
