Southampton Arms

Ales, Cider, Meat - as per the sign outside. Fully deserving of its excellent reviews - beer range usually includes some very interesting selections. There are a number of ciders on handpump in addition to the beers. Just under 10 mins walk from Kentish Town tube; five mins from Gospel Oak overground station. Buses 88 and 214 both stop directly outside the pub - get them from either Kentish Town or Camden Town tube stations.

This pub needs no introduction to London drinkers. An absolute stalwart. An equal offering of cask, keg and cider, with 8 of each available, constantly changing. All drinks are sourced from smaller independent suppliers. Known also for it's legendary meat offerings - sausage rolls, pork pies, scotch eggs. They also have a secluded beer garden to the rear. This basic bar with it's bare floor boards is an absolute must visit.
