Worth a try either way. Spaniards Inn, on Hampstead Heath Sophie says it is a haunted pub. Which just ghost to show..... I'll get my white sheet....... |

28 Feb 04 - 11:50 AM (#1125733) Subject: RE: Folk night wanted by London Pub From: Dave Bryant It's a famous pub situated on the top road from Hampstead to Highgate, not far from Kenwood Hous, here. It's quite noticeable because with the old toll house opposite it causes a tight bottleneck in the road. Sounds like a geat place for folk music - come to think about, I used to sing there about 36 years ago ! |

My father used to walk there for a Sunday lunchtime pint in summer (from Primrose Hill so you needed a pint by the time you got there). Because of its situation in the middle of the Heath, I suspect it's custom has been eroded by the laws affecting drinking and driving. It is not a natural place to walk to on a dark winter's night with a guitar under you arm. I wish it the best of luck, anyway. But living in Wiltshire now, I am not going to be able to have the pleasure of squeaking my fiddle there. Dermod |

It also passes a number of tube stations etc en route and runs until after midnight. Used to be a fairly regular drinking haunt in my youth, when I went to School beside the Heath. |
