The Lady Hamilton is a small, done-up boozer in Kentish Town from the crew behind The Pineapple: a pub in the same area that’s known across town as a very cosy session spot and one of London’s finest watering holes. This little Lady is much simpler than her sister. She’s well-equipped with all the classic features a modern pub needs: a menu of creative craft beers, a great old-school rock soundtrack, occasional comedy nights and a furniture set-up that could double as that of your living room.
There’s not much to it other than that, really. This pub is one small room filled with standard tables and chairs, but there’s no outdoor area or upstairs dancefloor, which is a shame – the straightforward space used to be Camden Brewery’s first tap room, which makes sense given the size and shape of it. Foodwise, on our visit Japanese pop-up Yuu Kitchen was running the show, and an ex-Nobu chef served up deliciously fluffy bao stuffed with beef and mushrooms. It went down well with a crisp Gyrocopter pale ale from the local Gorgeous Brewery in Highgate.
If you’re a Kentish Town local, Lady H is a convenient option for a casual pint. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it simple. But perhaps save The Pineapple for those lingering days and nights.
