This is a pub that thinks obviously thinks its address is West Hampstead rather than Kilburn, but I love it all the more for being in the latter and welcome more pubs with such character to Kilburn.
The Black Lion is a gorgeous pub, the interior really is so inviting. From the ceilings to the wooden floor, to the high backed chairs. It has such a cosy feel to it for what is quite a spacious pub. For a renovated gastro pub, it has done well to retain its feeling of just popping down to the local.
The large attached dining room always seems to be empty in the evenings, and seems a bit of a waste of space for this popular pub, but perhaps is busier during the day with the guests, as the pub is also a guesthouse.
